Lorraine Kelly has paid an emotional tribute to her 'incredible friend' and cancer campaigner Deborah James who passed away on Tuesday (June 28). Deborah, also known as the Bowel Babe, was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer in 2016 and bravely fought the disease for five years.
The 40-year-old podcast host campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness of bowel cancer and was recently honoured with a damehood by Prince William for her remarkable fundraising efforts. Deborah raised more than £6.8 million for Cancer Research UK through her Bowelbabe fund on Just Giving after announcing she was receiving end of life care in May.
Presenter Lorraine dedicated her breakfast show to her friend Deborah, showing a montage of clips of the mum-of-two being interviewed on the ITV show, her fundraising efforts, interviews and tributes that have flooded in from her friends and loved ones.
