‘I don’t think heaven is ready for Deborah James’

Cancer awareness campaigner Errol McKellar reflects on the legacy left by fellow campaigner Deborah James.

The You, Me and the Big C podcast presenter died with bowel cancer at the age of 40 in 2022, she fundraised £7.4m for charity in her final weeks and received a damehood in a special ceremony at her parents' home.

Speaking at a special live recording of the podcast, Errol says he “cried” when he heard of her death.

“We had an angel down here,” he says, “God has now got his angel back… I don’t think they’re ready for her up there.”
