In a clip for the show, the 62-year-old says that she was shocked to hear that her husband of 32 years freak accident.

"I wake up thinking what a shocking nightmare that was ... only that it wasn't a nightmare ... it's real,” she says in the teaser.

“I sort of wake up every day thinking, ‘what a shocker nightmare that was!’ It unfortunately is not a nightmare.”

In the statement in The Daily Telegraph last month, the TV host’s manager said, “John is communicating with Kerri-Anne and medical staff. Today was actually companion day so patients were able to bring in their pets.

“Kerri-Anne brought in their beloved golden retriever Digger for a visit with John in ICU which was appreciated by John.”
