MY GUESTS THIS WEEK: BEN JAMES & SARAH WIECZOREK

April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, and I’m joined by Ben James and Sarah Wieczorek—siblings of the late, great Dame Deborah James.

Deborah, also known as Bowelbabe, broke taboos, inspired millions, and changed how we talk about cancer—one brutally honest Instagram post (and poo emoji outfit) at a time. Since her death, Ben and Sarah have kept her legacy alive through the Bowelbabe Fund and are now training for the London Marathon in her honour.

We talk about why so many of us still feel too embarrassed to talk about poo, how early detection of bowel cancer can save lives, and the bittersweet joy of remembering someone you love and miss every single day.

Together we celebrate Debs, whose motto was clear: live life, loudly.

💩 CHECK YOUR POO!

https://www.bowelbabe.org/

Debs saved lives by saying the unsayable: check your poo.

It’s not weird. It’s not embarrassing. It’s just good sense.

Know the signs, trust your gut—and if something feels off, talk to your GP. It could save your life.
