Good Morning Britain presenters Ranvir Singh and Tom Swarbrick announced the sad news of lung cancer campaigner Jules Fielder’s death, aged 42
Good Morning Britain honoured an ‘amazing’ campaigner on Monday’s programme following their tragic death at just 42.
Jules Fielder received a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis at only 38 years old despite never having smoked or vaped, with her symptoms initially dismissed.
Jules worked relentlessly to promote awareness of lung cancer symptoms and ultimately save lives, creating a lasting national legacy.
Jules, from Hastings in East Sussex, dedicated years to raising awareness via her Instagram account, just_beingjules, where she has 67.9k followers. Jules was diagnosed with stage 4 NSC lung cancer in 2021 and it mutated to SCLC in 2025.
On Monday’s Good Morning Britain, presenters Ranvir Singh and Tom Swarbrick shared the devastating news that Jules had passed away at just 42 on Friday, reports the Mirror.
Ranvir, 48, said: “I’m afraid to say Jules has sadly died aged at just 42-years-old” with Tom, 39, adding: “Amazing woman, an amazing campaign.”
Later in the programme, Ranvir and Tom interviewed Jules’ friend and MP, Helena Dollimore, who discussed her campaigning efforts, including a successful initiative to display lung cancer symptoms in numerous Boots UK pharmacies, alongside a visit from the Prime Minister and a letter from King Charles.
Helena said: “We’re all so grateful for the legacy that Jules leaves, she was given this terrible diagnosis at the age of 38, terminal lung cancer, and she chose to use the time that she had left campaigning for others so that no one else would have to go through what she went through.”
The MP continued: “The sky was the limit with Jules, she was a force of nature and nothing was going to stop her”, adding: “I feel very much that she lit the torch and it’s up to those of us, still here, to carry that torch forward. There is so much more that could be done.”
The heartbreaking news of Jules’ passing was announced on her Instagram account on Friday, with the post reading: “One Bad A** Bougie B****” accompanied by dove and white heart emojis.
Among her 67.9k followers, tributes poured in from those who admired her campaigning work. One person wrote: “Oh Jules. You fought till the very end, I’m truly so sad to see this. I think everyone would agree you really were the definition of a truly incredible woman.
“May you rest in peace beautiful. Put your sparkles on and shine down on us. Sending your family all my love and strength at this heartbreaking time.”
A further follower commented: “You changed the world Jules” while another added: “Rest in peace beautiful lady your light will continue to shine through all the inspirational work you did for so many. Sending my love to your family.”
Good Morning Britain continues on weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV X.
