"I like this one – it shows her spirit. I can just hear her saying: ‘I’m going to wear a pink wig,’” the broadcaster tells us as she exclusively opens up her personal family album to mark a poignant milestone.
This Saturday, 13 April, is the 20th anniversary of Caron’s death. The much-loved TV presenter passed away in 2004, aged 41, after a valiant seven-year fight with breast cancer.
“Sometimes it feels as though 100 years have passed, and other times it feels like six months ago,” says Gloria as she shows us her treasure trove of family photos, including several unseen snaps of Caron.
One particularly striking image shows the pair smiling as they wrap their arms around each other against the backdrop of the Australian coast.
It was taken at the close of one of Gloria’s many visits to Caron and her family when they lived in Australia for three years near the end of her life.
“I think I’d been weeping. The leaving was terrible because you always thought: ‘I wonder when I’ll see her again,’” says the broadcaster, who turns 84 this week and co-hosts BBC1’s Rip Off Britain, also making regular appearances as a panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.
“She loved the freedom of Australia. To be in the sunshine, on the beach and in the water is very healing.”
Sharing memories with us today is a special thing for Gloria. “I love talking about Caron because it keeps her alive,” she says.
