Emmerdale star Lisa Riley broke down in tears on Monday as she revealed that she is still grieving the loss of her beloved mother nine years after her passing.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, the 45-year-old actress detailed her ongoing struggles as she announced she was launching a podcast about grief.
Lisa's mother Cathy battled breast cancer for more than a decade before she died in the arms of her daughter in 2012.

Lisa said that there's no timetable for losing a loved one, and 'everybody deals with loss in their own way' - something she will explore in the podcast.
She also touched on the fact that she feels 'judged' for continuing to grieve nearly a decade after her mother's tragic passing.
She mused: 'I wanted to be unbelievably honest and tell the truth about what I go through daily.
'The uphill struggle I have massively with being judged. I have it on set with Emmerdale when I'm at work.'
