Deborah's final episode, titled Deborah James' Last Dance, saw her move her producer Mike Holt to tears as she spoke about meeting and partying with her late friend Rachael once again.
The former deputy headteacher was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2016 and has kept her social media followers updated during her treatment.
Since announcing that she is going to be moving to home hospice care on Monday (9 May, 2022), Deborah has raised nearly £4.5 million.
The columnist, known to her fans as Bowel Babe, has received donations on her GoFundMe page from Prince William and Kate.
In a tweet, William and Kate said: "Every now and then, someone captures the heart of the nation with their zest for life & tenacious desire to give back to society.
"@bowelbabe is one of those special people. Her tireless efforts to raise awareness of bowel cancer & end the stigma of treatment are inspiring.
"We are so sad to hear her recent update but pleased to support the @bowelbabef, which will benefit the @royalmarsdenNHS among others.
"Deborah, our thoughts are with you, your family and your friends. Thank you for giving hope to so many who are living with cancer. W & C."
The Bowelbabe Fund is being donated to Cancer Research UK.
Deborah said that raising money for these important causes is one thing she "always wanted to do" before she died.
