THE Countess of Wessex gave yet another royal stamp of approval to Dame Deborah as she was spotted wearing one of the bowel cancer campaigners t-shirts.
Sophie, 57, sported the white ‘Rebellious Hope’ clobber as she joined hubby Edward at the beach in Gibraltar on Wednesday.
The t-shirt was launched last month by Dame Debs, 40, and raises money for The Celeb Report writer’s Bowelbabe fund – which has now raised an eye watering £6.7 MILLION.
The fund aims to raise awareness and money for bowel cancer which Dame Deborah was diagnosed with in 2016.
Launching the t-shirts on May 26, the mum-of-two said the tagline ‘Rebellious Hope’ is “truly what has got me through the last 5 years”.
The cancer campaigner told how she had been “blown away” by how many incredible supporters had been wearing her t-shirts – which are available through In The Style.

I'm bored of puppies on loo roll - we need information on cancer, says Deb James
She added: “Creating these have really kept me going the last few days and I’m so proud of them.”
Dame Debs – who was made a Dame last month with a visit from Prince William – is currently receiving end-of-life care at her parents home in Surrey surrounded by friends and family.
It comes as the campaigner is calling on big stores to put the symptoms of bowel cancer, such as blood in stool, on loo roll.
Already M&S is on board – it will start selling toilet rolls that raise awareness of the disease from September.
The idea came about after M&S staff member Cara Hoofe was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in 2016 at 32-years-old.
She was inspired to put forward the idea by Dame Debs after seeing all the work she has done to raise awareness.
Nearly 43,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year.
However the disease is treatable and curable, especially if diagnosed early.

Dame Debs has made it her mission to raise awareness of symptoms since her diagnosis in 2016, aged 35.
When she revealed at the start of May that she was stopping treatment for her disease, she continued to stress the importance of looking out for symptoms in the toilet.
