Heather Bone leaves viewers and Ruth Langsford in tears with This Morning appearance

She had her Wake Me Up Before I Go Go party this weekend

Heather Bone brought This Morning viewers and host Ruth Langsford to tears as she appeared on the show today (August 2).

Ruth and husband Eamonn Holmes welcomed Heather to the show to chat about her Wake Me Up Before I Go Go party, which took place over the weekend.

Heather has terminal breast cancer and, as well as telling viewers about the party, she also offered an update on her health – with Ruth looking visibly upset.

“Was it happy, emotional or both?” Eamonn asked?

“It was everything all mixed up,” Heather – who previously won £2k for her party on This Morning – revealed.

“It was emotional, it was happy, it was nice to see work friends I haven’t seen for a while. It was really nice.”

‘You have very little time left’

Ruth then asked Heather how she was feeling.

“Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed,” she revealed.

“My mobility when Alison [Hammond] came round, I could walk about 10 steps. Since then I can’t walk and my speech is slowly deteriorating as well,” she added.

“Now I’m having four carers a day,” Heather revealed.

Eamonn then asked Heather if she had a message for people who have “more time than you”.

He said: “You have very little time left and a lot of people have a lot of time.”

Tearing up and causing Ruth to do the same, Heather said: “We all say to each other do things because life’s too short, well it is too short.”
