She Said : " I had a figure in my mind of about a quarter of A Million , because I thought that would be enough to fund a good couple of projects across the charities that I wanted to fund.

" But in 24 hours to do A Million , I'm like absolutely Mind Blown and I just cannot thank People enough for their generosity.

" Because it just means so much to me. It makes me feel utterly loved.

" It makes me feel like we're all kind of in it at The End together and we all want to make a difference. "

After the opening day's whirlwind fundraising efforts - which has seen donations from More Than 85,000 People - James told The Bbc that her Dying Wish was to help raise money for the " things that gave me life" such as research into new, innovative cancer treatments.

James said: " Ultimately what I really want to happen is I don't want any other Deborahs to have to go through this.

" We know that when we catch cancer early, we can cure it. We know that much more investment needs to take place in cancer. "

She added that it was clear the UK has " skills and The Passion in the UK" to develop new cancer therapies, but that sometimes a reminder is needed to get a " boost" for funding.
