Dame Deborah James has celebrated her latest campaigning success on Instagram.
Health advocate Deborah has urged supermarket brands to highlight bowel cancer symptoms on the packaging of toilet rolls.
She hopes this might ensure people are more aware of crucial signs in order to catch any cancer early on.
And now it seems the 40-year-old mum-of-two has achieved her aim after Andrex indicated that will happen.

And Deborah’s other post highlighted how Andrex will be rolling out the important message.
Her caption read: “28 million packs! Coming soon! Puppy we are embracing the poo.”
What Andrex are doing
According to reports, Andrex has teamed up with Bowel Cancer UK to put the information on packaging.
Furthermore, it aims for bowel cancer symptoms to appear on all of their packaging within the next year.
Additionally, there will be a QR code on the packs. That code will redirect people to Bowel Cancer UK’s website for further information.
Meanwhile, Dan Howell, managing director of manufacturers Kimberly-Clark, said: “We’re incredibly honoured to partner with Bowel Cancer UK in helping to raise awareness of the disease through our Andrex brand.
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with the second highest mortality rate.
“Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with the second highest mortality rate.
“Our announcement today is just the start of our work with the charity, and we’re committed to making it an ongoing partnership.”
