Dame Deborah James ' colleague has recalled what she was like to know as a friend, describing her as a "deviant" with a tendency to swear who would turn up to work "unwashed".
The late campaigner - who had been diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 - passed away last month, aged 40, with her having been receiving end-of-life care in the weeks prior.
The news prompted countless tributes to the podcaster, who had set up the Bowelbabe Fund shortly before her death to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
