Deborah James says she's 'humbled' by damehood as she thanks fans for incredible support

Deborah James has expressed her joy and pride after being honoured with a damehood.

The podcast host's damehood comes just a few days after revealing she is receiving end-of-life care for her bowel cancer.

Deborah was initially diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer back in December 2016, at 35 years old. After choosing to share her experiences online, the 40-year-old became known as the 'Bowel Babe', and went on to become one of three presenters on BBC Radio 5 Live's You, Me and the Big C.
