Dame Deborah James made a heartbreaking confession about her children in new documentary The Last Dance.
The film was aired on BBC One last night (Thursday June 30) following cancer campaigner Deborah‘s death earlier this week.
The mum-of-two, who was diagnosed with incurable bowel cancer in 2016, was just 40 when she passed away.
The Last Dance contained tender and fond tributes to podcast host Deborah from people whose lives she touched.
Celebrities who have supported her Bowelbabe fundraising and campaigning – like Lorraine Kelly and Gaby Roslin – also featured.
But among many touching accounts about Deborah, the most affecting words were delivered by Deborah herself as she spoke about her children.

She took part in filming for the documentary in October 2021, shortly after she turned 40.
She described it as “a birthday that I never thought I would make… and I did”.
