'It makes me feel like we're all kind of in it at the end together and we all want to make a difference.'

The broadcaster said she had gone to her parents home to spend her remaining time with her family because it was "where I always wanted to die".

"Yes I would give my cancer up in a second just to have a normal life again. But to be able to do it and feel like you've had an impact is kind of one of the best feelings you can have." The fund, named after her online handle, will work with the charity Cancer Research UK, Bowel Cancer UK and the Royal Marsden, to allocate the money.

She said: "I had a figure in my mind of about a quarter of a million, because I thought that would be enough to fund a good couple of projects across the charities that I wanted to fund. James said: "Ultimately what I really want to happen is I don't want any other Deborahs to have to go through this.

They spoke to celebrity guests and addressed practical matters including hair loss, tips for dealing with finances and telling your nearest and dearest.
