Podcaster Dame Deborah James dies of bowel cancer aged 40
The Guardian says DAME DEBORAH JAMES, the headteacher turned podcaster who raised millions of pounds for charity with her campaigning to raise awareness of bowel cancer, has died, her family has said.
James, who was 40, stepped away from a career as a deputy headteacher and began blogging about her diagnosis under the name Bowelbabe in 2017. She went on to become a Sun columnist and released a book, F*** You Cancer: How to Face the Big C, Live Your Life and Still Be Yourself.
She was best known for sharing her six-year battle with terminal bowel cancer on the popular BBC podcast You, Me and the Big C, which she began co-presenting in 2018.
