Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid was left emotional on Wednesday morning as she paid tribute to late Dame Deborah James, who lost her battle with cancer at the age of 40.
The mum-of-two, who launched a fundraising page called Bowelbabe to raise money for Cancer Research UK, was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer just before Christmas 2016, when she was aged 35.
Dame Deborah died surrounded by her family on Tuesday, weeks after she confirmed she had stopped active treatment and was receiving palliative care at her parents’ home in Woking.
