Actor Jason Watkins says he blames himself for death of daughter Maudie but hopes her story will help others

Bafta-winning actor Jason Watkins and his wife Clara say they are still "haunted" by questions 11 years after the death of their two-year-old daughter. The 60-year-old actor admits he still blames himself for Maude's death, while his wife is angry she was so accepting of what the doctors were saying during two hospital visits.

The couple have opened up about the tragic death from sepsis before, but not in the same depth as they have for a new TV documentary that has been produced by ITV Wales Cymru. Little Maudie was just two-and-a-half when she died suddenly in the early hours of New Year's Day 2011. Like a lot of children in the winter, she had what they thought was a simple chest infection.
