Host Jane Moore asked: “James, you’ve had a tough time as well with your dad Allan, haven’t you?”
And James, 42, sobbed as he wiped away tears while sharing an update on his dad's condition.
He answered: "Yes, horrendous. Last year my dad got diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. He’s currently back in hospital, really, really not very well."
He later added: "It's been the most horrendous time in our lives, for us it is frustrating.

"I would have loved not to be in lockdown and been taking my dad to amazing places and spending some real quality time with him.
He trailed off as he said: "But my dad is the strongest person I've ever met..."
Seeing her husband's pain Ola, 38, also cried, as she said: "It's really difficult because obviously we can't go and see him ...
"My mum and dad are in Poland, they still haven't met (our daughter) Ella ... it is really difficult."
The couple credited their baby daughter Ella, who celebrated her first birthday over the weekend, for bringing joy into their lives.

James added: "(Ella) has put a smile on everyone in the family's faces. Especially being an IVF baby which is a miracle in itself."
His father's health deteriorated at the same time as he became a dad with his dancer wife Ola.
Allan suffered multiple strokes and was diagnosed with coronavirus, last year, leaving the star desperate for answers.

It turned out to be their biggest fear - that his father had been misdiagnosed.
It was finally revealed in July last year inbetween lockdowns that he only had a year to live.
James went to try and find the best possible surgeon that could be able to help.
