Ronan Keating was among the thousands of people who paid tribute to broadcaster and campaigner Deborah James after her death from cancer at the age of 40, describing her as a “a pioneer, a fighter, a champion and a dame”.
The podcaster's death from bowel cancer on Tuesday was announced by her family, prompting tributes from across many sections of British society.
In her final weeks, Deborah James raised more than £6.7 million for research in the UK through her BowelBabe fund and was made a dame for her "tireless" work improving awareness of the disease.
