Ola stepped in and said: “It’s very difficult because obviously we can’t go and see him.”
As she began tearing up, Ola continued: “When people say how tough it is to be at home…”
James added: “We just all need to do what we’ve got to do.
James apologises to fans
“My dad is such a positive person and so strong in his mind and his opinion is yes we have to stay at home and it’s an annoyance and frustrating.
“But we have to do it to protect everyone else and that’s why we’re staying at home.”
Following his appearance, James apologised to his fans on Twitter and admitted it was “the hardest TV interview” he’s ever done.
He wrote: “Well that was the hardest TV interview I’ve ever done.
“I said I wouldn’t cry no matter what and then I saw the picture of my dad come up on the screen.
