A friend of Dame Deborah James has opened up about his poignant final conversation with her ahead of the first anniversary of her death.
Deborah, who hosted the You, Me and the Big C podcast on BBC Radio 5 Live, dedicated the final years of year life to raising awareness of bowel cancer after being diagnosed with an incurable form of the disease in 2016, helping to raise over £11 million for Cancer Research UK through her Bowelbabe Fund. The mum-of-two sadly died in June last year, aged 40.
5 Live presenter Tony Livesey recalled the last time he spoke to Deborah, after she asked him to conduct what would be her final interview over the phone. Tony shared the memory alongside You, Me and the Big C co-host Lauren Mahon and friend Emma Campbell, The Mirror reports.
