He's possibly one of our hardest-working actors with roles in top-level British dramas like The Crown, Des, Line of Duty and The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies, but Jason Watkins has his own heartbreaking story to tell in his brand new documentary, Jason & Clara: In Memory of Maudie.
Alongside wife Clara Francis the McDonald and Dodds star, 60, has made a new documentary about the loss of their daughter, Maude, when she was just two years old in 2011 after she went undiagnosed with sepsis while suffering from flu. The documentary sees the couple sit down and look at the circumstances leading to Maude's death, on New Year's Day, 2011, in detail for the first time since that tragic day.
The couple, whose show will go out on ITV1 on Thursday, March 30, at 9pm, believe their little girl's death was 'avoidable', with Clara telling Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast: "I've always felt with Maude, she was just unlucky (...). That makes it so much more painful to me because this is a death that could have been avoided."
