Writer and broadcaster Maia Dunphy said she is still heartbroken over the death of her mum Helen who died of cancer in February.
Describing her “grimmest year” she revealed the only thing she can cherish is having spent so much time with her mum and her dad Tom during lockdown.
Maia, 46, and her seven-year-old son Tom, who she shares with comedian Johnny Vegas, formed a bubble with her parents during the pandemic.
