Deborah James issued a heartfelt thanks to Instagram fans after receiving a bunch of letters.

The inspirational podcast star, who is receiving hospice at home care for bowel cancer, has had letters reach her even though people haven’t put an address on them.

Deborah took to her Instagram Stories to thank the people sending “heartfelt” letters in the hope they would reach her.

She said: “The addresses are making us laugh, in a good way, and @royalmailofficial – thank you!

“You are all so thoughtful.”

Earlier this month, Deborah shared the heartbreaking news that her active care for bowel cancer has stopped.

She’s now receiving end-of-life care following her diagnosis with bowel cancer in 2016.

Since the devastating news, Deborah has incredibly raised more than £6million for Cancer Research UK through her Bowelbabe Fund.

She said on Instagram last week: “I wrote another book!! So I’ve got a few things to share with you before I die that I’m gutted I won’t see in real life!”

Meanwhile, Deborah received a damehood from the Queen.
