Kelsey was asked how she is dealing with the ‘firsts’ since Tom died.

She began to talk about her recent family trip to Cornwall, which was her first time back since losing Tom.

Janet said: “But everything would bring back a memory, wouldn’t it, every place you go to.”

Kelsey agreed completely, saying that the couple had many memories in Cornwall.

Janet continued: “When one of my friends died unexpectedly, I couldn’t even bare to walk where I’d been with him because I expected him to turn the corner all the time.”

Janet clashes with Linda

Earlier in the show, Janet clashed with fellow panellist Linda Robson after Linda expressed that she was a “big fan” of Boris Johnson.

Linda admitted: “I’ve always been a big fan of Boris because he lived in Islington and I used to see him all the time.”

Janet interrupted her, saying: “You can’t like people just because they lived in Islington!”

Linda then said: “He used to stop and chat with everyone. You used to see him down the market with his cup of tea and with the dog and that.”

The star then said Mr Johnson has provided us with “good laughs”.
