Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball breaks down in tears as she recalls how she said goodbye unknowingly for the last time to her boyfriend cameraman Billy Yates, before he took his life at his Putney home in May last year.

The BBC Radio 2 star announced in early March that her mother had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was being 'incredibly brave'.
