- EMER SCULLY COMMENT: PAGE 4

DAME Deborah James thanked those who helped her cancer fundraisin­g appeal hit £6million yesterday as she revealed she’s “getting weaker” and “running off pure adrenaline”.

It comes after the mum-of-two, who hosts the BBC’s You, Me and The Big C podcast, received a damehood from Prince William on Friday.

Dame Deborah, 40, who is having end-of-life care at home, said: “I may have had the most surreal, mindblowin­g, humbling five days of my life.

“I cannot thank you for your generosity at launching the Bowelbabe Fund.”

And she thanked Prince William for “going above and beyond to make a very special memory happen”.
