“It was said with extreme kindness but it was just a moment of absolute reality and clarity, and I remember I pulled my car over and just had a good old, to use a good Scottish word, a good old greet and I thought ‘right, well, them’s the facts and you’re really going to have to think about this’,” she said.

Reflecting on the programme’s appeal, she said: “I once described it as a sort of hammock-like quality, just to fit itself around the person who is there.music
