Esther Rantzen Reveals Her Husband's Death Left Her Struggling With Loneliness

Child Line president Esther Rantzen has revealed that her husband's death left her struggling with incredible loneliness.

Desmond Wilcox died in 2000 and the pair were married for 23 years.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Rantzen, aged 76, said: "I lived on tea and biscuits for ages afterwards. I lost my confidence. I though 'Who would want to spend time with me now I'm on my own?' I know how loneliness can lead to physical and mental ill-health."

However, she revealed she is open to start a new relationship and even appeared on Channel 4's First Dates.

She was paired up with Irish legal lawyer John, but she admitted there didn't seem to be a connection between them.

She said: "He was almost too good for me. He was a charming Irish man and I have a wicked side to me. I think maybe I'm too naughty."
