Deborah James' friend recalls struggling to put the phone down the last time they spoke

One of Dame Deborah James ' friends has opened up about his final conversation with the late star prior to her death last year.

Tony Livesey remembers not being able to put the phone down during what would become their final call as he knew "it would be the last time I would speak to her", after Deborah asked the radio presenter to conduct what would be her final interview over the phone.

Lauren Mahon, who co-hosted the You, Me and the Big C podcast with Deborah, also fondly recalls how Deborah once lovingly "told me off very severely" as they processed the death of one of their original co-hosts in 2018.
