Deborah James has tonight (May 12) told of her joy after being honoured with a damehood. Deborah, 40, has raised an astonishing £3.6million since Monday when she revealed she was receiving hospice care at home and preparing to say goodbye - after she was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016.
Deborah, who presented the award-winning podcast You, Me and the Big C on Radio 5 Live, told The Sun after she found out she was being made a dame: "OMFG, this is crazy. I don't know what to say. I'm blown away and feel incredibly honoured.
"I don't feel like I deserve this. I can't tell you what this means to my family, it's so much to take in."
