I miss George a lot... we should all remember him by helping suffering kids

who are there for me. Life is never perfect for anyone but I try to look at the positives and focus on them.”

George’s death has made Geri reassess how she spends her life and juggles her work commitments.

“Time is the most valuable thing we have,” she says.

“I want to spend it well. I want to be present as a mother and with Monty while he is little and with Bluebell.”

But she is also determined to carry on working too. Filming is about to start for a new Saturday night show to be screened in the New Year. She is also writing another children’s book.

Amid it all remains a determination to do what she can to carry on George’s work for children who are struggling.

“I didn’t ask to get involved with Childline but it has come to me,” she says.

“It’s like George passing the baton to me. I think he has led me to it, it was meant to be.”
