I gave up EastEnders to care for my mum
Me and my mum - I’m her golden boy and she’s my girl - I couldn’t for the life of me understand how she could forget me
On the day that a report from the Alzheimer's Society says that NHS needs to review its continuing care policy to help those around the country caring for people with dementia, actor John Partridge joins us to talk about why he took the heartbreaking decision to give up his role in EastEnders to care full time for his sick mum.
John Partridge is supporting Alzheimer’s Society’s Memory Walk to raise vital funds for people living with dementia and their carers: memorywalk.org.uk
