At one point, the war veteran became tearful when talking about the moment when he moved in with daughter Hannah and her two children, following the death of his wife Pamela.
"I was very fortunate to move in with them. That was a good day when I moved in with them," he told the presenter.
"I've got four grandchildren, and what more can you wish for than that?"
