The Project star revealed to The Daily Telegraph that one particular story, which really hurt “would have to be the story of an elderly mum with cancer saying goodbye to her home and family for the last time as paramedics transport her to palliative care”.

The 60-year-old said it reminded her of her mother Beryl who passed away in 2018.

“Having recently been through those exact same moments with my own mum as she left the home she loved and built for the last time, just brought it all back”.

The interview comes after Wilkinson recently broke down on The Project after watching James Blunt’s new music video which features his terminally ill father. 

The TV star revealed that watching the clip reminded her of her own dad who passed away 30 years ago.

“Your dad is really important to you,” Lisa said. “That song we saw at the end of the package about the possibility of your father dying and you saying goodbye to him.

“I was watching this about an hour ago, and let me tell you, the hair and make-up girls had to come in big-time – I was bawling my eyes out.”
