Deborah James ' mum has revealed the final thing her late daughter achieved before her tragic death last June aged 40.
The BowelBabe campaigner passed away after raising millions of pounds for Cancer Research UK.
Mum of two Deborah bravely battled bowel cancer for five years before eventually losing her battle with the disease.
Her final wish was to die at her parent’s home in Surrey, which she did surrounded by friends and family including her two children, Hugo, 15, and Eloise, 13.
Deborah’s mum Heather James explained she wanted to do final piece of campaigning before her death.
"She was adamant that she wanted the bowel cancer the symptoms printed on [toilet roll] wrappers because everybody buys toilet roll and it was a campaign close to her heart that she wanted to see before she died," she told the Loose Women panel on Thursday.
"It took a bit longer to get the campaign going and two days before she died she knew that Tesco was going to do it and she saw how it was going to be."
She added: "I could see that was the last thing she had to achieve and then she started to slowly sort of go in my eyes.
"She was still with us, she was still there, but the peace that she had finally got those toilet rolls was amazing."
Heather has recently expressed how she wants her son-in-law Sebastian Bowen to have another chance at love now Deborah has gone.
“We give Seb our blessing. We want him to move forward when he feels ready,” Heather told the Daily Telegraph.
“Deborah will be a hard act to follow, but he has our blessing. Because Deborah wanted him to move on, we want him to move on.”
When she was still alive, Deborah described her 44-year-old husband, who works as a banker, as a “very eligible bachelor”.
But before her death, she drew up a list of women he was banned from hooking up with after she was gone.
The journalist stopped short of revealing which women made it on to her ‘ban list’ – but claimed she would “come and haunt” Seb if he ever went against her wishes.
She said at the time: “I had a list of girls that I was like, right, they’re going to pounce on my husband.
“And I listed off a couple of names that I said I would do my damned hardest to come and haunt him if he hooked up with those people, which I thought was absolutely hilarious.”
