Deborah James receives outpouring of public support as cancer fundraising exceeds £1m | ITV News

More than £1m has been donated to the Just Giving page of podcast host Deborah James, who has received an outpouring of public support since revealing she is receiving hospice-at-home care for her bowel cancer.

The popular presenter of the BBC podcast You, Me And The Big C was diagnosed with the condition in 2016 and has regularly kept her 300,000 followers updated with candid accounts of her treatment.

In an emotional Instagram post on Monday, she said that nobody knows “how long I’ve got left”, saying that her body “simply isn’t playing ball”.

She has urged people to give to her donation page, which echoes her social media handle Bowelbabe, to raise funds for lifesaving cancer research and to support campaigns to raise awareness of bowel cancer.

By Tuesday morning, it had raised £1,033,093 with nearly 63,000 supporters.
