TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has said Dame Deborah James’s funeral was “perfection, as you would expect”. The podcast host and mother-of-two, who became known as Bowelbabe, died last month aged 40 after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016.
Close friends and family said farewell to her at an intimate private service at St Mary’s Church in Barnes, west London, on Wednesday. The mourners included McFly star Tom Fletcher and his podcaster wife Giovanna, and TV presenters Gaby Roslin, Sophie Raworth and Kelly.
Speaking about the funeral on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, 62-year-old Kelly said: “We celebrated the life of a truly incredible person yesterday, our Dame Deborah. She is remarkable. It was beautiful, so beautiful, such a celebration of an amazing, amazing woman.
