I've missed you all, I've been looking after my dear ma but back to bother you though.” Zoe also gave a heartbreaking update on her mum Julia Peckham’s health, adding: “Sadly, heartbreakingly her cancer is quite advanced but we're making loads of lovely memories and taking care of her, she has some amazing people around her. “I have a newfound admiration for all carers.

I have realised that perhaps my calling was below stairs after all! I make a fine tea, I've been doing a marvellous lot of ironing and doing lots of admin. “I've had some real heartbreaking messages from people who have lost loved ones to cancer recently, you are all in my heart.'” The star also gave the medical staff looking after her mum a shoutout, telling those tuning in: “a very nice pair of chaps called Vic and Tom who took us to A&E in an ambulance last week. "My mum and I had never been in an ambulance before.

It was fascinating stuff.There was an amazing team at A&E, all of them doing such amazing work. “I've met some lovely people after going in and out of hospitals for the past few weeks.
