She left her home in Bristol at the age of 18, but now comedian, actor and TV presenter Jayde Adams is back in the city. And her return will be the subject of a funny, poignant and emotional documentary being broadcast on Monday evening on BBC1, as part of the We Are England slot.
The Bedminster star told Bristol Live last September about her decision to return home, after she’d bought a house near where she grew up, and was having it refurbished by her family of tradesmen.
And that experience, along with revisiting her old haunts and meeting up with old friends, has made an emotional rollercoaster of a documentary which goes from sharing banter with Bedminster’s singing greengrocer Darren Jones, to singing Pie Jesu in St Mary Redcliffe Church in honour of her sister, who passed away 11 years ago.
