The One Show's Alex Jones choked up after reading a letter that Tom Allen wrote to his late father during the episode that aired on Wednesday, November 9. The comedian stopped by to talk about his new book, Too Much, which features the letter as a tribute to his father, who died in late 2021.
"There's a bit at the end where you write a letter to your Dad and it's just lovely. There's a particular paragraph in there and I wondered if you would mind if I shared it with our viewers?" Alex asked, to which Tom replied: "I wouldn't mind at all."
The 45-year-old then read out part of the letter, which said: "We were different weren't we, in lots of ways, you always accepted me though. Our differences taught me what love is, it doesn't matter how we expect it to be, it just is.
