Friends of the late Deborah James played tribute to the inspirational cancer campaigner on BBC Breakfast this morning in the wake of the star's death being announced last night.
The BBC podcast presenter's co-host Steve Bland grew emotional as he paid tribute to his late friend and the 'extraordinary legacy' she leaves behind, while close friend Emma Campbell recalled undergoing treatment alongside Deborah when chatting on the early-morning show.
Deborah's death was confirmed on Tuesday night as her loved ones shared the sad news that the mum-of-two had died at the age of 40 via a statement on social media, following a five-year battle against stage four bowel cancer.
