Kate Garraway was overcome with emotion as she opened up about her latest documentary following the death of her husband Derek Draper.

The presenter, 56, will explore the final year of her husband’s life, as he struggled with long-term symptoms of coronavirus and required daily care, in a new film titled Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story.

And as the documentary aired next Tuesday, Kate discussed how it feels to have completed the project, as she confessed it was “quite emotional” working on it.

Kate admitted she spoke to co-host Ed Balls on Thursday’s episode of Good Morning Britain “I can’t quite believe” that Derek, who died in January, is not with her to “watch his story.”

‘It was actually quite emotional. It makes you want to jump into the screen and give him a hug.

“You can’t quite believe he’s not with us to watch his story. But hopefully it will be very helpful to others going through the same thing. That is the dream and the wish.’

After viewers watched a trailer for the program earlier this week, Ed added: ‘It was very moving to hear him speak [that] clip we played a few days ago. Because at At the same time there is vulnerability, but it is also absolutely the Derek I have known for thirty years.’

Kate agreed and continued: ‘You’re right, there is vulnerability, vulnerability, obviously deep ill-health and damage, but yes, he was his own man to the end.’

The mother of two also explained that it was Derek’s decision to make the latest documentary, in the hope that it will provide a lot of help to those who are also suffering from long-term illness.

She explained: ‘It was his idea to make this and his story, so hopefully, as I said, when it airs next Tuesday it will be of great help to a lot of people who find themselves in the situation that Derek is in with a long-term illness and those around them who care for them, as well as the healthcare professionals.’

Ed added, “I can’t imagine how hard it is to do this, but I think it’s really important that you did it.”

Kate replied: ‘I hope so, I hope people see it that way. Thanks Ed.’

Kate previously described the impact of caring for her husband, who died in January aged 56, in two other ITV documentaries entitled Finding Derek and Caring For Derek.

When asked why he wanted to participate in this film, Derek previously said: ‘I want to be heard.’

Kate said she “vividly” remembers that the idea for the third documentary came from Derek, who said he wanted the main message to be “never give up fighting for what you believe in and for the people you love.” .

“I wasn’t planning on making another one,” Kate said.

“We had to find a way to make Derek’s voice heard and although it was so hard to finish it without him, I’m thrilled that the film is a tribute to Derek and his incredible spirit,” said Kate.

“It is also a tribute to all those who continue to fight to make every second of their lives count, no matter what is thrown at them.”

A controversial debate broke out on British show Good Morning Britain today when the program hosted a debate on whether it is okay to marry for money.

The conversation comes after a survey of 2,000 people, in which one in eight admitted they had financial regrets and wished they had a wealthier spouse.

“Meanwhile, the hashtag ‘how to marry rich’ currently has 3.9 million views on TikTok, so is it right to marry for money?,” the show asked.

The show, presented by Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, hosted money broadcaster Danni Nicholls, who is married to footballer Dean Holden, and who said: ‘It’s smart to know someone who will give you financial security’.

And according to the program, “that was part of her husband’s appeal when they were dating.”

She took on businesswoman Caroline Stanbury, who said money should not influence how you choose your partner.

Explaining her position, Danni said: “As controversial as this may seem at first glance, you have to look at these things. You have to look at people’s prospects.

‘It’s not necessarily about how big their bank account is. I mean, statistically apparently…men who make a lot of…money [on their own] who have not inherited money may be risk takers, and so are more likely to actually lose the money.

‘So at some point they are more likely to go bankrupt.

“The thing is, though, if someone is willing to get up and out of bed, and they fight and are driven, I find that very attractive.”

When asked why it’s not sexy if someone is rich, Caroline replied: ‘It’s not not sexy.

“I’m just saying it shouldn’t be the most important factor. And I think [Danni] I just put it out there – it’s like I’m not saying, “You’re advocating dating and marrying men on benefits and sitting at home doing absolutely nothing.”

‘If you go to work, you want your husband to go to work too.

“But I mean, I never asked the guy how much he’s worth or what he makes, and I don’t care because I own my own money.”

Susanna then asked, ‘Caroline, people marry for looks, they marry for a sense of humor. Why is money different?’

She replied, “I just don’t think money creates stability.

Furthermore, Caroline said: ‘I come from kind of a rich background and I know a lot of rich people [who have] made money, lost money, [and] are not stable because of money.

“And so just because you’re married to it doesn’t mean you’re going to end up with it.

“I also say that unless the guy literally signs it and puts it in your bank account, it’s not your money.

“There are many people who divorce and still walk away with nothing.”

When the program on

One commenter said: ‘Marriage should be about love and partnership, not financial gain. Encouraging people to marry for money perpetuates harmful stereotypes and undermines the value of real relationships.”

Another added: ‘And that’s why I’m not getting married until I find a millionaire. No, if you really love someone, it shouldn’t be about money.’

And a third wrote: ‘It’s not right to marry for money but to say there’s no harm in trying to find someone you love who happens to be rich.’

Strictly Come Dancing winner Ellie Leach has revealed she still talks to her professional dance partner Vito Coppola every day.

The pair took home the coveted glitter ball in December and went on tour across the country with the rest of the 2023 line-up.

Ellie has now returned to acting and appears on stage in the production of Cluedo 2.

The former Coronation Street star, 23, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday and revealed she is in touch with Vito, 31, every day, even though their Strictly journey has come to an end.

Ellie also laughed off the idea that they were ever more than friends after host Ed Balls said: “We all thought there was a love interest?”

“I think when you dance with someone you’re together pretty much 24/7 and we’re just the best of friends. I’m so lucky to have him as my dance partner. We just really understood each other,” Ellie said.

‘He was even more emotional than me, especially during the final. I thought, ‘You’re spending too much time with me now.’

Susanna Reid asked, “Is it true that you speak to Vito every day?”, to which Ellie replied, “Yes, I have spoken to Vito every day since September.”

Ellie also revealed that she keeps the glitter ball in the kitchen of her parents’ home, while her dad takes a selfie with it whenever anyone comes over.

The actress revealed her romance with EastEnders actor Bobby Brazier, 20, earlier this month, which began during the live Strictly tour, and has now moved to London.

Last week, Ellie hit back at trolls asking ‘where is Vito Coppola’ on her social media, amid her blossoming romance with Bobby.

The actress shared a sweet selfie with Bobby after he saw her make her stage debut in Cluedo 2 at the Richmond Theater last week.

But some of Ellie’s fans didn’t seem to support her new romance with Bobby, as some asked: “Where’s Vito?” under the Instagram post.

Ellie hit back by sharing a photo of Vito on her page and saying: ‘I love this man very much. Men and women can be friends and love each other as FRIENDS…just say x’

The Coronation Street actress added: ‘@vitocoppola you have the cutest face.’

It comes after it was revealed Ellie has ‘moved to London’ amid her blossoming new relationship.

The former Coronation Street actress lives in the capital where Bobby lives with his father after rekindling a romance during the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

Ellie’s cousin, actress Brooke Vincent, said she plans to meet her in London on Thursday during an appearance on This Morning.

She said: ‘I’m seeing her tonight and she’s moved to London.’

Brooke added: “I could never do Strictly again since she won, she did a great job. You get tired of saying how proud you are.”

Prince William is hurt by the treatment of his wife Kate Middleton and sees “elements” of the hunt for his mother Diana, a royal expert has claimed.

Roya Nikkhah, editor-in-chief of the Sunday Times, spoke on Good Morning Britain today about the bizarre online conspiracy theories surrounding the Princess of Wales’s illness following her abdominal surgery on January 16.

Speaking about social media’s interest in the Princess of Wales’s health, she said: ‘Having seen his mother go through a lot of that, the hounding of his mother, I think he feels that elements of that are being revisited. are violated in terms of the demands and yells at his wife about her medical privacy and that hurts him.’

Asked by host Susanna Reid if William is feeling “sensitive” about the similarities, Roya added: “He always has, since he was a child and since he’s been with Catherine since university.”

Elsewhere, the royal expert revealed that Kate could discuss her health condition at public meetings next month, according to her close friends.

Roya said: ‘I think she’ll be a lot more open about what happened, I think she’ll do it in a natural, organic way, like during an engagement.

‘We’ve seen William at engagements in recent weeks and everyone asks him how Kate is doing and says please give these flowers to your wife. I think when she’s gone, she’ll be asked about it.

“I’m not saying she’ll go into detail about the surgery she had, but maybe she’ll find a way to talk about her recovery about the places it’s taken her mentally and physically. We know that mental health is important to them. that’s how she’s going to let people know that something is going on.”

The princess is not expected to return to the front line until after April 17, when her three children return to Lambrook School, near Ascot, after the Easter holidays.

However, Kate was reportedly spotted ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ this weekend while visiting a local farm shop.

Roya said: ‘She’s been at the children’s school, school parents have seen her over the last few weeks, she’s been seen in this farm shop so she’s been out and about.’

After the royal correspondent spoke to a friend of the Prince and Princess of Wales who “saw them and spoke to them last week”, she said they were “under pressure” over the social media reaction to Kate’s Mother’s Day family snap.

Speculation only increased when Kate publicly took the blame for the family photo released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top photo agencies amid concerns it had been ‘doctored’.

In addition to a number of imperfections in the photoshopped image, viewers also noticed that Kate did not appear to be wearing her wedding ring, leading to several unsubstantiated theories online about the state of her marriage.

‘Even feeling under pressure, it has been very clear to me that they are not going to change what they would always do in the coming weeks, so if we hear from her it will only be when she feels ready, regardless the reporting. .

‘This is a woman who has been in the media since she was 20 and she has hardly put a step wrong. I think we need to lay her off a little bit,” Roya added.

The Sunday times A friend quoted the following: ‘They will want to be clear and open, but they will do it when they feel ready. I would expect that this is her instinct and it will be her decision. They can’t be rushed.’

Despite these tumultuous weeks for the royal family, it is expected that they will still maintain the tradition of releasing a new photo to mark their children’s birthday, the next one being Prince Louis on April 23.

They can use it as an opportunity to talk about her health, it is reported.

Now, sources within royal circles are warning of the negative impact rumors could have on the future queen as she recovers from her major surgery in January.

An insider said: ‘I’m worried about all this attention on Catherine. She didn’t look happy at all in the car on Monday.’

Kate was seen in the backseat of a car with her husband as he left Windsor to travel to London for two public engagements.

The Mail understands she was heading for a ‘private appointment’ and was not accompanying William in public.

Despite calls for the original image to be published, Kensington Palace insisted the unedited photo of Kate and her children would not be reissued.

It comes after further details emerged about the photoshoot, with William taking the photo in just 40 minutes on Friday before the princess edited it twice in Photoshop to ‘make the most of it’.

The Prince of Wales took the photo of his smiling family with a £2,900 Canon camera, before Kate made edits to improve the photo before it was published on Instagram on Sunday.

Royal commentator Jennie Bond suggested Kate ‘must now be feeling intense pressure when seen in public’ after her major surgery in January.

The actor who played Willy Wonka in the failed ‘immersive’ experience in Glasgow has said he was embarrassed by the performance, adding he hasn’t had as many opportunities as the viral Oompa Loompas.

Parents were furious when the event in Glasgow ended early and left children in tears last month when they were given a lollipop instead of a river of chocolate.

Today, 18-year-old Michael Archibald, who played the main character of ‘Willy McDuff’, went on Good Morning Britain and said he initially applied for the job because he needed money.

He said: ‘For me this started as a small job search.

‘I live on my own and am alienated [from my family] since I was 17.

“I’m currently 18. I said I was going to go there and get a job, make money and move there for the summer, and it went downhill from there.

Michael said he thought an acting job sounded like fun and he came across the Willy Wonka experience and was intrigued by the gig.

“There wasn’t even a chocolate bar in sight,” he added.

‘I was very ashamed. I was standing in front of all these people and a lot of people were like, ‘Wow, he’s so unenthusiastic,’ but that’s because I didn’t want to be there in the first place.”

The Oompa Loopmas went viral online for their unimpressed facial expressions at the event and their ‘cheap’ looking costumes.

Kirsty Paterson, 30, who played one of the orange characters, admitted that the attention from the failed event has given her more opportunities.

She said: ‘For me the media has been amazing, it opens doors for me that I never knew could be opened. It was my dream to always be a children’s presenter and work for charities.’

Jenny Fogarty, 25, who played another Oompa Loompa, said the response from the media attention was ‘hugely positive’.

“It’s wild, none of us could have expected this outcome,” she added.

The pair have racked up millions of views on TikTok since revealing they were in fact the two women behind the viral memes.

But Michael, who played the main character in the experience, said he hasn’t been given as many opportunities as other actors and actresses.

‘What really sucks is that I didn’t get many opportunities out of this for myself. The documentary and all that is because people were very late in releasing videos of me and no one really reached out,” he said.

The event was canceled halfway through as angry mothers, fathers and grandparents demanded refunds. Organizers have promised to give people their money back.

Kirsty previously said that all the actors went to the pub after their experience and returned to find four police vans at the location.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said officers were called to the canceled event and ‘advice was given’.

House of Illuminati, the event’s organizers, said they would refund families within a period of 10 business days.

But Jenny says she hasn’t seen many being processed.

Kirsty said: ‘Parents came to me that day and said this is what they got their child for Christmas and I just can’t get over it and they don’t have the money back.’

Michael added that the event’s organizer has “gone completely MIA” since it took place last month.

In a statement on the House of Illuminati Facebook page, they said: “Today has been a very stressful and frustrating day for many and we are truly sorry.

‘Unfortunately we were let down at the last minute in many areas of our event and we did our best to carry on and persevere, and now we realize that we probably should have canceled first thing this morning.

“We fully apologize for what happened and will provide full refunds to everyone who purchased tickets.

‘We had a fantastic event planned and it just didn’t take shape as planned and for that we are really sorry, we are devastated at how this has turned out and understand the anger and frustration that everyone has had, refunds have already been issued and the rest should be in the coming days, again we really are [sic] Sorry to everyone.”

A royal expert has said William ‘doesn’t want to be associated with Harry at all’ after they both appeared separately at their mother’s estate awards.

Duncan Larcombe, former royal editor at The Sun, told Good Morning Britain today that he believes their rift has deepened rather than healed in recent months.

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex made a rare joint appearance for the Diana Legacy Awards at the Science Museum in London.

But neither was in the room at the same time, even virtually, for the 25th anniversary of the event.

Harry appeared via video link, but William was long gone by then, having left the event at 8.15pm.

‘It was one of the most special royal assignments [I’ve] ever encountered,” Duncan said.

‘Harry not only came in via video link, but only after William had left the ceremony, that’s how much William doesn’t want to be associated with Harry.

‘Unfortunately, this gap appears to have deepened rather than improved.

‘Things can change in the royal family, but it is difficult. The death of their grandfather [and] grandmother didn’t bring them together, the coronation didn’t bring them together and now even their mother’s inheritance can’t bring them together.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward was also on the show and said she thinks Meghan has upset the balance within the royal family.

She said: ‘I think it matters because of Diana’s memory. She famously said to her boys, ‘Please, no matter what happens in life, always be good friends with each other,’ and that’s exactly where things went wrong.”

‘Harry, William and Kate were previously a trio and then someone comes in and it upsets the balance.

‘[With] It worked with other friends of Harry, but it didn’t work with Meghan and that upset the balance and I think that’s when things went wrong.

‘Since then they have gotten progressively worse, culminating in Harry’s very unpleasant comments when he published his book.

Ingrid said that when the couple meets in person again, she thinks they won’t “snap” at each other, but equally won’t talk out their problems.

“Of course it has to happen and it hasn’t happened,” she added.

Speaking about last night’s event, Ingrid said: ‘William does the serious part and Harry does the cheerful part. But the story we’re clinging to is that they can’t even be together via video link.’

The pair then went on to talk about Kate’s Mother’s Day photo blunder.

The royal family has released a photo of herself and her children, Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Bizarre and outrageous theories about the princess’s health and whereabouts circulated on social media during her absence, only fueled by the editorial blunder.

Top photo agencies pulled the photo from their threads over concerns the image had been ‘manipulated’ by the source – with Kate later admitting she had ‘edited’ the photo.

Duncan believes the public will be “quite forgiving” of the Princess of Wales because she is a popular royal.

Ingrid added that the error in the image was the Palace’s fault for not double-checking with the future queen what changes she had made to the image.

“I blame them and I think she would probably blame them too if she wasn’t so nice.” I’m sure William isn’t very happy with his office,” she said.

A heated debate broke out on Good Morning Britain as guests clashed over whether motherhood is ruining women’s careers.

Broadcaster and mother-of-two Narinder Kaur said that ‘mothers need to be at home’ because they ‘can’t have both’, while fashion designer and mother-of-three Savannah Miller argued that women ‘can do both’.

The debate comes after singer Lily Allen admitted having children ‘ruined’ her career and rejected the idea that women can ‘have it all’.

Agreeing with the Smile singer, Narinder said that a woman having children and a successful career is ‘a myth’.

She added: “I want to pat Lily Allen on the back for being completely honest. I think she has triggered a lot of mothers who believe in the myth that you can have it all, but you can’t.

‘You absolutely cannot have a successful career and raise children. It’s a lie because if you want to be a fully present mother and meet their physical and emotional needs, you have to be a stay-at-home mom.”

Savannah disagreed, saying that women can balance motherhood and career, but they must “make sacrifices.”

She said: ‘I don’t believe we can have everything, we have to make sacrifices. However, it is very harmful to tell your daughters that they will have to choose between being a mother or having a career.

‘Also telling your sons that this is what you expect from your wife or girlfriend when they give birth – that they are just going to put their careers on the shelf and yours is more important – is, quite frankly, disgusting.

‘I want to raise boys who go out into the world to support women. Why is a man’s career given more value than a woman’s? I do not feel like it.’

The fashion designer revealed that she was a ‘flexible worker’ when she had children and had people around her who could help.

She said: ‘I had people from my village help me when I couldn’t get to the school gate and I would put my children to bed every night, read them a story and go back to my laptop. It is very damaging to tell women that their careers do not have the same value as men’s.’

Narinder disagreed and said, “We don’t have to be Superwoman, we have to be mothers at home with our children. Unfortunately, this world is not made for two working parents and as a mother I believe that the mother should be at home with the children.’

Viewers rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to leave their thoughts on the controversial topic.

One person said: ‘Lily Allen’s comments highlight the need for more discussion and support around the challenges parents face in the workplace. It’s not about ‘having it all’, it’s about finding a balance that works for you.’

Another said: ‘How is this even a debate? A career isn’t really a sacrifice for having children. Have some damn perspective.”

Someone else said: ‘It’s impossible to be 100% committed to a job and 100% committed to raising children.

‘Women seem to be obsessed with proving they can do anything, but they can’t! I am a stay at home mom and am ashamed that I made that choice! I think your career needs to be put on hold to raise your child.”

A fourth said: ‘They don’t ruin a career, but if you are the main childcare provider, or even share equally with your partner, having children limits your ability to continue rising through the ranks!

‘I’ve often felt like I’m not giving, both at work and as a mother, the juggling guilt is real!’

The debate comes after Lily Allen admitted her two daughters ‘totally ruined’ her pop career because she chose to prioritize them over work, insisting: ‘You can’t have it all’.

The 38-year-old singer and actress said she believes women should decide whether to put their children or their careers first, saying she chose the former.

‘My children ruined my career. “I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom they’ve totally ruined it,” she told the BBC Radio Times podcast.

“I get really annoyed when people say you can have it all, because honestly, you can’t.

‘Some people choose their career over their children and that’s their prerogative, but my parents were quite absent when I was little.

“I feel like it left some nasty scars that I don’t want to repeat on mine.”

Lily’s father is actor Keith Allen, 70, who left her film producer mother Alison Owen, 63, when Lily was four.

Lily has now said that she has ‘chosen to take a step back and focus on my children’ and she is glad she did because ‘they are quite versatile.’

The Smile singer shares two daughters Ethel Mary, 12, and Marnie Rose, 10, with her builder ex-husband Sam Cooper, 45, but released her last studio album No Shame in 2018.

Lily now lives in New York with her children and new husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, 48, who she married in 2020 and has turned her hand to acting.

Embarrassed former This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield cut a somber figure as he walked his puppy in west London on Monday as the new presenters made their debut.

Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard launched the new era of the ITV daytime product after the pair were revealed as the new additions last month following weeks of speculation.

The future of the ITV show was thrown into chaos after its star presenter was forced to resign in May and Holly Willoughby made her shock departure in October.

As the show entered a new chapter, Phillip kept a straight face as he enjoyed a walk with his new dog.

The former presenter dressed in a dark padded jacket with a cream-colored fluffy collar while keeping it casual in jeans.

It comes five months after the broadcast bowed out of the spotlight after an affair with a much younger man who worked with him on This Morning, leading to his departure after more than twenty years on the show.

After much speculation about his private life, his affair finally became public and he admitted he had been left ‘broken and ashamed’ but insisted he was not a groomer.

He said the affair “never came across” as an abuse of power because he and his lover were “buddies.” He told The Sun: “I was unprofessional once in a 41-year career. There is no excuse. No one has done anything wrong except me.”

In his first interview since leaving the broadcaster and This Morning, the presenter said: ‘I didn’t do that, I didn’t do that [groom him].

‘There are accusations of all kinds of things. It never came across that way because we became friends. I do not know. But of course I understand that there will be a mass judgment, but keeping that in mind, I have never done that before.’

It has emerged since then He paid his much younger lover keep quiet about their relationship.

Schofield paid his former colleague, who is 34 years his junior, a six-figure sum to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents him from talking about their affair.

The TV presenter has been in the wilderness since he admitted the affair and lied to his ITV employers in an extraordinary mea culpa to the Mail last May.

A lawyer acting for the former This Morning presenter has now confirmed that a deal was signed with his former lover last year, including a ‘mutual confidentiality clause’ and a payment to compensate the man for the losses suffered.

The man was just 15 when he met Schofield, who helped him land a coveted job as a runner on This Morning at the age of 19.

A romantic relationship between the pair began when the man was in his 20s, after which he moved to another ITV daytime show, Loose Women. He later left the channel with a separate payout.

Despite the clause preventing either party from talking about the affair, Schofield revealed intimate details of their relationship when interviewed by the BBC’s Amol Rajan last June.

A source familiar with the NDA told The Mail on Sunday: “The young man has been vulnerable for some time. That’s no secret.

“Several matters were paid for following Phillip’s decision to speak out about his relationship and as part of this a non-disclosure agreement was drawn up and signed.

‘It means Phil knows his young ex will never be able to talk about their relationships again, which means he can probably sleep a lot better now.

‘He [Schofield] has lost a lot, but imagine if the full details were to become known – that would be quite disastrous for him.

‘As for the young man, let’s hope he can now move on with his life and rebuild it – but that’s not easy.

‘And it’s a bit of an exaggeration to present an NDA after Phil had his say at the BBC last year.’

The man – referred to only as Person

New presenters Cat and Ben said they were ‘so excited’ when they finally made their debut on Monday.

During the show’s opening moments, Cat said: “We’re so excited to be here, this show has been part of our lives for so long.”

Ben, who left Good Morning Britain last month after ten years, added: “Everyone has been so lovely. thanks to everyone who sent us messages of support.’

Cat and Ben also received messages of support from some of their famous friends, with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly sharing a sweet tribute to their former SMTV co-host.

Ant said, “Kat, Ben, good luck!” while Dec continued: ‘Have the best time! You’re going to be amazing, we can’t wait to watch.”

Noting their wild parties during the heyday of their children’s telly, Ant said: ‘A little bit of advice for Ben about Cat, because we’ve worked with Cat and she may be very sweet and light, but that girl can party! Don’t think she can’t do that.’

Declan added: ‘Keep a lock on the drinks cupboard.’

Back in the studio, Cat admitted with a smile on her face, “Look, my motto in life is work hard, play hard.”

Cat went on to reveal: ‘Well, actually Ben, I actually got a little word of warning about you too – from one of your best friends, check it out!’ Before the clip played, Ben joked: “That’s even more worrying when it’s from one of my friends!”

Viewers then heard Chris Kamara, affectionately known to many as Kammy, say: ‘Let me tell you Cat, he’s like a bear with a sore head when West Ham get beaten and the rest of the time he’s just miserable!

“I’m just kidding, let me tell you that Cat was one of the best things that happened to me and I’m sure you’ll see that, and vice versa of course. Good luck to both of you, I think you’re going to screw it up.’

Ben said, “Aww Kammy! He never manages to move me, that man. On Sundays we often woke up together on Sky… You have to learn that! But thank you Kammy for that message.’
