Last month, Morning Live presenter Kym broke down in tears as she told the show’s viewers of her dad’s terminal illness.

She and co-host Gethin Jones were joined by David, then 73, and her mum Pauline in the studio to raise awareness of the disease.

Kym said: “I wouldn’t want to see anyone else go through this. I get more emotional than my dad does, he’s so strong it’s unbelievable. 

“We know we’ve got to that point where they can’t do anything else for him, and they said ‘go and make memories with your family’, and that’s very much what we’re doing.”
