Deborah James says she's scared to sleep as she receives end of life care for cancer

Dame Deborah James has revealed she is now too scared to go to sleep as she receives end of life care at her parents' house in Surrey.

The 40-year old, who is battling stage four bowel cancer, gave a health update on Tuesday and spoke of how her family are all "knackered", but she is determined not to let her children have "the burden of caring for me".

The mother-of-two previously posted a 'farewell' message on her Instagram account before being presented with her Damehood by the Duke of Cambridge.
