Deborah James and her daughter model new limited edition Rebellious Hope T-shirts
DAME Deborah James has revealed two new limited edition Rebellious Hope T-shirts.
The 40-year-old cancer campaigner has already raised hundreds of thousands of pounds through initial sales of the top.
She has now released a pink and black version of the garments and modelled them with daughter Eloise and mum Heather.
Just last month, the Sun writer released a shirt with her beloved "rebellious hope" slogan on the front.
Within hours two batches of 10,000 T-shirts had sold out - raising £140,000.
The podcaster said 100 per cent of the profits will go to her fund, which supports Cancer Research UK, The Royal Marsden and Bowel Cancer UK.

Debs today revealed the sales had topped £650,000, while her fund has now reached a whopping £6.6million.
Due to the popularity of the tops, Debs last week asked her followers if a different style t-shirt would be of interest.
Posting on today she said creating the t-shirts had really kept her going over the last couple of days.
" I talk about this quote a lot ‘Rebellious Hope’ - it’s truly what has got me through the last 5 years and I have been blow away by just how many of you have been supporting and wearing my t-shirt design I’ve designed.

"I’ve been up and down over the last couple of days being honest but where I’ve had the strength I’ve been discussing ideas and we have decided to do these 2 final designs at your request and it’s fair to say I absolutely LOVE them!"
Debs said the black top is a more fitted style with gold foil as she wanted to create a more 'dressy option'.
She added that the most popular request had been a pink top.
The collection launched at 12, and Debs said In The Style had been 'on it'.
"I on the other hand was having one of those days (sadly like a lot of my days now)", she added.
"But I’ve only just been able to be awake enough to do this! Argh dying is hard you know!"
Last night Debs was also keen to highlight that not everything is always as it seems in photos.
She praised the use of makeup and said she hadn't felt so good when the pictures were taken.
"Not been a good day as many aren't at the moment. But it's amazing how images don't tell the 1,000 other words.
"For reference I spent my day telling everyone to f*** off."
Deborah also revealed that brand are now donating £10 from the sale of the £30 'Swag Bags' to the fund.
The company said: "As most of you know, Dame Deborah James aka @bowelbabe is a friend of ours and has always been part of the Scamp & Dude family over the past 5 years.
"We are so pleased to be able to help raise funds for the brilliant @bowelbabefund for Cancer Research UK through the sale of one of our products.
"It would take too long to create something new, so we decided to let Deborah choose something from the current collection and she chose this coral with gold leopard & lightning bolt Swag Bag."

The signs of bowel cancer you need to know - remember BOWEL
- B:Bleeding
There are several possible causes of bleeding from your bottom, of blood in your poo.
Bright red blood could come from swollen blood vessels, haemorrhoids or piles, in your back passage.
Dark red or black blood could come from your bowel or stomach.
Blood in your stools is one of the key signs of bowel cancer, so it’s important to mention it to your doctor so they can investigate.
2. O: Obvious change in loo habits
It’s important to tell your GP if you have noticed any changes in your bowel habits, that lasts three weeks or longer.
It’s especially important if you have also noticed signs of blood in your poo.
You might notice you need to go to the loo more often, you might have looser stools or feel like you’re not going enough or fully emptying your bowels.
Don’t be embarrassed, your GP will have heard a lot worse! Speak up and get it checked.
3. W: Weight loss
This is less common than the other symptoms, but an important one to be aware of. If you’ve lost weight and don’t really know why, it’s worth mentioning to your GP.
You may not feel like eating, feel sick, bloated and not hungry.
4. E: Extreme tiredness
Bowel cancer that causes bleeding can cause a lack of iron in the body – anaemia. If you develop anaemia you’re likely to feel tired and your skin might look pale.
5. L: Lump or pain
As with lots of other forms of cancer, a lump or pain can be a sign of bowel cancer.

Deborah highlighted that she was grateful for the partnership and that the company had been 'very generous'.
The Sun writer was moved to at-home hospice care last month and has been spending time with her family and friends.
Debs, who is mum to Eloise 12, and Hugo, 14, said she is becoming less able to leave the house due to her condition.
Deborah was first diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in 2016.
Since then she has been an avid campaigner, raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of the condition.
