She told Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Adil Ray: “It’s actually Derek and I’s wedding anniversary today, unbelievably.
“15 years today – Richard and Hilary were there on the day, I think. But yeah, what an extraordinary thing.
“I won’t be able to see him today. I kind of hoped he would but it hasn’t worked out that way for the visits. But maybe it would be a bit strange anyway.”
