SUE’S HEARTBREAK

Torment over dad’s terrible final days

TELLY host Sue Perkins has told of her dying father’s harrowing last days.

“If he were my dog, I would have put him down,” the former Great British Bake Off presenter said.

Sue lost her beloved dad Bert to a brain tumour. She revealed that at one stage he was hallucinating so she did an uplifting commentary of a Germany v England game for him.

The star, 49, said in a new book recollecting her father’s death: “We are now at the endgame.

“His anxiety is worsening. He is gurning and clawing at the bed sheets.

“If he were my dog, I would have put him down three days ago.

“He will live like this for another week.

“All of us are gathered around his bed.”

She revealed that when her dad was hallucinating due to the amount of morphine he was on, she and her family acted out an

England match.

Sue said: “As it happens,

England did indeed win, a mere 3-2 against Germany.

“But Dad left this world

ANGUISH: Perkins thinking we’d put 42 goals past our old rivals, while they ended the match with only two players on the pitch.”

Sue was with her dad when he died aged 80.

“I had my head to his heart when he took his last,” she wrote in her book East Of Croydon.
