Delia Smith shares heartbreaking first words after husband’s death

Delia Smith has spoken publicly for the first time about the death of her husband, Michael Wynn Jones.

The couple, who were majority shareholders at Norwich City Football Club for 26 years, married in 1971.

Speaking to the Amol Rajan Connection podcast, Smith said she would have to learn how to be "half a whole" after her husband died.

Smith explained that Wynn Jones had been very ill for the last six weeks of her life, and she had been at his side "night and day."

Wynn Jones died aged 85 in September. Norwich City said he died "peacefully at home" and would be "greatly missed" by the club.
