Lorraine Kelly has led the tributes to the late Dame Deborah James in a new BBC documentary after she tragically died age 40 after a five-year battle with bowel cancer.

The journalist and broadcaster, who went by the nickname "bowel babe", "passed away peacefully" on Tuesday 28 June, her family shared in a statement on her Instagram.

Deborah devastatingly announced on 9 May that she had moved to end-of-life care. She explained that despite all of her treatments, her body just wasn’t “playing ball”, and that she was receiving hospice care at her parents' house.
