Ricky Tomlinson 'glad' he didn't know about Caroline Aherne's cancer
I'm so glad I didn't know she had it
Ricky Tomlinson and Caroline Aherne's brother Patrick joined GMB for the first time to speak about the death of the much-loved actress after a secret battle with lung cancer earlier this year.
Her brother opened up about growing up with the Mrs Merton and Royle Family star and of how cancer affected their lives.
Meanwhile, joining us from his home in Liverpool, her onscreen father Ricky told us he was relieved he didn't know she was suffering with the disease because he watched his father die from it.
