Dame Esther Rantzen's daughter Rebecca breaks down in tears over her mother's cancer diagnosis after the broadcaster revealed she's considering assisted suicide
The Childline founder, 83, was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer last year, and has since revealed she has joined the assisted-dying clinic Dignitas in Switzerland.
She revealed how Dame Esther made wonderful memories with her grandchildren - teaching two how to play solitaire and being taught in return how to do a sudoku puzzle - before singing karaoke late into the day. 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. Ms Wilcox also spoke of the heartbreak of watching her father, Desmond, endure a slow and painful death as he battled heart disease, adding: 'That's what mum wants to avoid.'
