Kaye, 61, confessed she ended up sobbing when she found her daughter packing her suitcases to head off to university
“She phoned me – I was coming home from the airport – and she was saying, ‘Oh Mum, I can’t do my packing’. I was thinking ‘for
God’s sake Bonnie, you’ve had six weeks to do this, you should be all organised’.
“I walked upstairs and there she was sitting surrounded by these clothes and suitcases. I looked at her she looked at me, and we both burst out crying.”
Speaking on her How To Be 60 podcast, Kaye admitted: “It’s bloody difficult. The worst thing is, she’s having a really good time. She couldn’t speak to me the other day because she’d been doing karaoke.”
