Lorraine Kelly tearfully announces plans to get tattooed in honour of Dame Deborah James | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Deborah had maintained a positive mindset ever since first being diagnosed with the deadly disease back in 2016.
Her biggest fear had been the prospect of leaving behind her two children, 14-year-old son Hugh and 12-year-old daughter Eloise.
However the determined columnist’s battle had not gone unnoticed, with Prince William personally praising her and singling her out for a damehood.
The You Me and The Big C podcast presenter, who tirelessly tried to raise awareness even down to her final hours, also continued to be as active as possible.
Her active treatment ended back in May, but she still attended events including Ascot, pasting a brave smile onto her face.
