She shared a photo of herself in a floral dress in the sunshine, with a stunning meal in front of her as she sipped a drink from a martini glass.

She added on her story: ‘Sunshine is making me happy! As is good food! I’ll be knackered after this! But getting out the house feels so good!’

Dame Deborah then shared a snap of herself in her Rebellious Hope charity T-shirt which she released with In The Style to raise money for her BowelBabe fund as she chilled out after a busy day. 

She told her followers: ‘And know you’ll find me relaxing AKA not moving for a while whilst dreaming of rebellious hope still! Balance!’

She has chosen to die at her parents’ home rather than the family home in order to make the difficult tine easier on her young children. 

Her fundraiser has also raised over £6.5million for cancer charities in the hopes of finding a cure or more advanced treatments for others battling the disease.
