Radio One presents the Jemma Collins Podcast.

Hi podcasters, it's me Jemma.

Woeh!

Guys, I'm feeling positive this week. I have had such a distressing time and, you know, due to both my parents having COVID and I finally got a call from the

doctor to say that my dad has been keeping really stable and is coming down off of his breathing

masks and we're hoping to have him home with us next week and I can't tell you when when you know we've all

known about the COVID we've we've all been very aware of it, but when it happens so close and within your family,

it literally tears you apart and our house is not the same without my dad and it's been such a scary time because we just

haven't known how he was going to be and if he was going to make it you know there were

moments where we all had to have the chat about you know what if dad doesn't pull through.

So I am so happy to be giving you this news because I have been so down

and I just feel that maybe well things are definitely going to start

turning a corner so dad will be home soon and I was so excited I made all his bed up for him nice and I know this sounds weird but I've

never ever made my dad's bed I've never made my parents bed. I've never had to. But I don't know why.

Is that something people do? I don't suppose you do. Your parents make your own bed.

But I was so happy that he was coming home. I got him a new mattress cover, got him a new top of for his bed.

I put all fancy bedding on and I fluffed up all his pillows and I skips him at the hospital and I was like,

Dad I've made your bed. I mean he nearly could have passed out because it's not something I've ever done so thank God that you didn't but I'm just absolutely buzzing this week and you know it has just been a terrible time but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
