She couldn’t remember. Your help appreciated. Give your Mum a big hug!” (As fans discovered, the song is George Le Brunn’s “Oh! Mr. Porter” from 1892.)

As I’ve got older that’s inspired me to want to tell stories about real women who are not Superwoman but need extraordinary powers to survive.”

Shane’s death comes nearly five years after the passing of Kim’s brother Christopher, who was found dead in 2018 just days after disappearing.
