Deborah James shares the ‘miracle’ letters making her laugh with their strange addresses

Deborah James has been flooded with “miracle” letters arriving from well wishers and has said they’re ‘making us laugh’ as they’re still managing to arrive despite having no actual address on the front. Dame Deborah, also known as Bowel Babe, has been battling stage four bowel cancer after being diagnosed with stage three in December 2016 and has recently shared she is now receiving end-of-life care.

However the mum-of-two has not stopped raising funds and awareness of the disease and since announcing her heart-breaking news Deborah has received a Damehood, announced a new book and raised over £7million for charity.

And what she’s dubbed ‘miracle’ letters have been arriving ever since. Showing off her latest haul on social media, she told dollowers: “the address are making us laugh, in a good way, and Royal Mail, thank you. You are all so thoughtful.”

She continued: “Every day, the effort people are going to, to not only write such heartfelt letters, to send them with no address in the hope they reach me. They are!

“And they put such a smile on my families’ face. Thank you.”

When she first started getting the very special mail, she said: “I think my parents have the best Royal Mail service ever. The attempted addressed letters are giving us life. How earth they are getting here is a little miracle.”
