Judi started crying after watching a series of video clips showing the ups and down of her career on Loose Women.

She said, soaking up her tears with a tissue: "It’s overwhelming, it’s joyous tears.

"When you’re living in the journey and so busy doing it and so focused on where you want to get to, that you kind of park things where they are, where they have been because you’re on a new path.

"Seeing it all back, you remember the process, you remember the tiredness, the joy, the hurt, the laughter, the people. That’s what it’s done.”

The star, who is from Hackney in London, also opened up about the moment her mum had an aneurysm when Judi was just nine years old.

She said: “I was there when it happened. My mum’s doing what she does so well, which was cooking at the time, making cakes for a summer fete I had in school.

"She was just like… she doesn’t feel well, I remember her calling me and then she started to pray and I knew something was wrong.”

She was comforted by the rest of the panel today - Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Gloria Hunniford.

One fan tweeted: "Poor Judi getting emotional, God Love Her, what a journey Xx."

Another wrote: "Judi life story about her mom and dad I just turned off crying 😢."

A third simply wrote: "sending hugs Judi love 🧡🧡."

The Loose Women stars have been taking turns to examine their lives in a feature called Life Before Loose.
