Emotional James told how she has been preparing her children Hugo, 14, and Eloise, 12, by talking about her death.
The podcaster told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday: “I have a really loving family who I adore. Honestly, they’re incredible and all I knew I wanted was to come here and be able to relax knowing that everything was OK.
“I’ve had some really hard conversations during the last week. You think, ‘Gosh, how can anyone have those conversations?’ and then you find yourself in the middle of them. And people are very nice, but you’re talking about your own death and I’ve had five years to prepare for my death.”
