Vernon Kay was left 'knocked off his feet' after Strictly Come Dancing star Susan Calman made an emotional confession during his BBC Radio 2 show. The Scottish comedian, who appeared on the show in 2017, broke down in tears while discussing Fleetwood Mac's ballad 'Landslide' and its impact on her life.
During the Tracks of My Years segment on April 30, Calman revealed that the song reminds her to 'live now', and shared that she has struggled with mental health issues and self-identity. 'I didn't feel like I became who I am and comfortable with myself until I passed 40,' she said, adding that at 51, she finally feels 'truly comfortable' with herself.
Calman became particularly emotional when discussing the line 'Even children get older', which she said brings up regrets about not enjoying her life. She also disclosed that her father died last year, describing his death as a 'real wake-up call' that reinforced the need to live life to the fullest.
Vernon Kay admitted the confession had 'knocked him off his feet', and the pair later exchanged numbers, planning to play golf together. Calman's candid reflections highlighted her journey to self-acceptance and the importance of seizing the moment.
