The presenter said: “I really do fear not being cognitively capable.

“I see it in my dad and I see it in my parents’ friends.

“I just think, ‘There by the grace of God’.”

Anna, appearing in Channel 4 show Can I Improve My Memory?, told how Jim presided over her brother’s wedding ten years ago.

She said: “I remember him at the altar going, ‘Mark, do you take this woman, Jo, to be your wedded wife?’

“My brother was looking at him going, ‘It’s not Jo. She’s called Rachel’.”
