“My real mother said she looked more like my mother than she did,' June's former on-screen son said.
on Tuesday, John referred to June as his “second mother” as he shared treasured memories of working with his co-star while playing Dot’s tearaway son Nick.“She was a dear friend. Someone I could confide in, and probably my second mother, really,” he said. “My real mother said she looked more like my mother than she did!”
“We’d walk to the canteen at the BBC and it would always take about half an hour because she’d stop along the way chatting to people,” he said. “She was so kind.“She used to say healing prayers, actually. She was quite a spiritual person – she definitely believed in a higher power, something more than we know, perhaps. We were a good team.”
John also opened up about the last time he saw June, which was about a month ago, revealing she had been “tired”. “She didn’t have to go into a home or anything. She spent her last days in her lovely home in the Surrey Hills.”Dave J Hogan via Getty ImagesShe returned in 1997 and Dot stayed on the Square until 2020, making an off-screen exit when the character went to live in Ireland with her grandson.
