Dame Esther Rantzen reveals her dream final dinner - after admitting she is considering assisted suicide amid her stage-four lung cancer

Dame Esther Rantzen has revealed her dream final supper after admitting she is considering assisted suicide.

Dame Esther also recorded a exclusive for Loose Women, which was played during Rebecca's interview, in which she said: 'I don't know if I'll live long enough to see this debated in parliament but if you do agree with me, please, please make your views known to your MP and for those that disagree - maybe on religious principles or maybe because they're professionally absorbed in palliative care and believe that this goes against what they practice in medicine - can I just say, all we ask for is the choice. Discussing the laws around assisted dying in the United Kingdom, Rebecca commented: 'This is the awful thing about outsourcing death to Switzerland, you have to go before you're ready because you have to be signed off by two doctors so you're not quite at the stage that you would choose and you have to go alone, because anyone that goes with you, comes back to prosecution. Ms Wilcox had earlier told ITV's Good Morning Britain how her mother, who has also worked as a broadcaster for several years, 'doesn't care what anyone else says' as she prepares to join her family for what tragically could be her last Christmas.
