She added: 'If I went through life thinking about Tony I'd top myself. You can't do that.' 

The Hello Carter actress continued: 'Tony had vascular dementia – the oxygen wasn't getting to his brain because of circulation. It's the most appalling thing.

'Even when someone has the most dreadful disease you still communicate'.

But Judy admitted that the communication between the two dried up because of Tony's heartbreaking disease and although she lost her husband, but found 'my child'.

Actor Tony passed away in 2001 after a 38-year marriage to Judy in which they welcomed one son.

With the eighth series of Call The Midwife recently finished, Sister Monica Joan left fans worried about her future after her eyesight and memory faded.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
