Charlotte Church says she was in 'absolute grief' when she learnt of her stepfather's terminal diagnosis as she gives a rare insight into family life in new podcast


The singer, 38, says she was 'absolutely in grief' when her stepfather James told her of his terminal diagnosis back in 2019.

The episode, set to air on Thursday, sees James talk openly about his terminal diagnosis of AL amyloidosis, a rare disease which affects the internal organs as well as how he survived sepsis seven times. There will be fifteen episodes in total with special guests including her grandfather, friends, dance teacher and pub landlord telling their stories about growing up in Cardiff, where Charlotte has lived all her life. In the second episode of the series, which will also be released on Thursday, Charlotte is joined by one of her oldest friends and ‘chosen family’, Kyla Scott, and shares stories about the ebb and flow of their friendship over the years.
