After issuing a health update about his nan, known as Nana Manford, comedian and judge on ITV1's Saturday night entertainment programme Starstruck, Jason Manford has now dedicated a song to her. In February 2023, Jason's grandmother was rushed to the hospital at the age of 99 years old.
Sadly Jason's nan has remained in the hospital and is no longer eating. Jason posted an emotional update to his Instagram where he posted pictures of his family around his nan's bedside and said the situation was "heartbreaking".
Now he has posted a video of him performing the Irish folk song Carrickfergus at the Stockport Plaza, which he has dedicated to both his nan's. He captioned the video: "After a bit of cajoling and ended up singing a song dedicated to my two nanas. My Irish Nana Nora who's no longer with us and Nana Manford who's very poorly. Both of them gave me a love of music and songs, as well as the encouragement to follow my dreams." followed by green and red love heart emojis.
