Deborah James has revealed she's given her husband "strict instructions" to move on following her death, but begged him not to marry a "bimbo".The BBC podcaster, now 40, was just 35 years old when she diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in December 2016, which went on to become stage four. Since then, she has tirelessly campaigned to bring awareness to the disease, some of that through her Instagram account @bowelbabe.
It was on this platform that the mother-of-two, who shares Hugo, 14, and Eloise, 12, with Sebastian, announced that her “body isn’t playing ball” and that she’d been moved to hospice care at home, adding: "Nobody knows how long I’ve got left".

“I don’t think I have ever seen my husband so emotional; but now he has suddenly realised the enormity of this," she explained. Deborah continued: "I have given him strict instructions: I want him to move on.
"He’s a handsome man, I’m, like, ‘Don’t be taken for a ride, don’t marry a bimbo, find someone else who can make you laugh like we did [together].’" She went on to gush over her supportive husband, who has been carrying her everywhere as she's become "too weak" to use her legs. "My husband Sebastien has been incredible, he has dropped everything and is with me 24/7," Deborah said, before explaining she didn't want their two children to see her in this state.
