Mel Giedroyc has revealed how she missed her mother’s final moments before she died because she was ‘in a state’ after an ‘immature’ night outRecalling the experience, Mel said: I’d been to see her on the Friday, all of us together, it was brilliant. She was very unwell, I had a show in the evening and I kissed her goodbye and told her I’d see her on Sunday. ‘I left, I’d had my phone on all the time, day and night, throughout the whole run in case I could just get to Oxford. I had two shows on the Saturday and had loads of mates in. They lined up four drinks for me after the show, they knew it was stressful behind the scenes and that mum was dying.’They lined up all these Bacardi and cokes which is my drink of choice, and I was like guys I haven’t been drinking the whole run, I’ve been going to see mum…’But they said, you look stressed, get them down you! So I drank four Bacardi and Diet Cokes. Absolutely smashed. I was the last person to leave the theatre that night. They were literally trying to lock up, and I was in a bit of a state. Got back to my flat in Bristol. It was pissing with rain.”I got back into the flat and sprawled in my clothes, stage make-up on, on the bed. Failed to put the charger onto my phone for the first time in two months. You know, ridiculous immature behaviour. Woke up so hungover.”I thought oh my god, I’ve got to get down to see mum. Plugged my phone in and I could just hear in the bedroom, ding ding ding. Like fifty messages. So I just knew. I knew that she died. And of course, once the phone juiced up, and I got the messages, there was my darling sister who had been with her.”I got on a train and got to the place where she died in a nursing home. The whole family were there. Mum laid out. The TV presenter, 58, recalled how she was working on a musical in Bristol and started the job while her mother was ill, after she insisted to take the role’I had the p*** ripped out of me right royally. Right royally as I stepped into the room. It was just like, you know, so there were a lot of tears, but there was also a degree of laughter as well. And I think mum would have probably laughed. The only night I didn’t have my phone charged.’It was announced at the time that Rosemary had died ‘peacefully’ aged 86 and Mel was left devastated by the passing of her beloved mother. While she hadn’t publicly spoken about her mother’s passing, her family said she was ‘adored’. The loss came six years after she lost her father Michael back in 2018. Her father, who was a Polish aristocrat sent to forced labour in Siberia by the invading Soviet army in 1940, died aged 88.While the reason for her death is unknown, Rosemary suffered from a series of strokes when she was in her early 50s.She told The Guardian in 2016: ‘Mum was in her early 50s when she had four strokes in quick succession that almost took her off. ‘I’d just come down from Cambridge with a rubbish degree. I spent a year reading to her – her eyesight was badly affected – and making sure she got proper rest. It was a special time but very intense, too.’ Mel grew up in Leatherhead, Surrey, along with her three siblings, Coky, a film and TV director, Kasia, a children’s writer and Miko, a musician (Mel pictured with Sue Perkins on Bake Off) Mel grew up in Leatherhead, Surrey, along with her three siblings, Coky, a film and TV director, Kasia, a children’s writer and Miko, a musician.Mel also discussed how her father met Rosemary through her mother Astrid who was a book illustrator. She said: ‘Astrid hoped my father might get together with one of her elder daughters but, as soon as he saw Rosemary at one of Astrid’s parties, he was smitten. Nothing happened for three years until she was 19.’Speaking about her dad previously Mel said: ‘Dad has instilled in me a need to make my mark in life.’I have a strong need to achieve things for myself and I think that comes from him. He and I have a lot in common. We’re as tough as old boots and both have a good sense of humour.’Mel was deeply moved when her father wrote a poignant memoir in 2010 about his struggles as a refugee during the Second World War.Michal, whose own father was a senator and a judge, was ten years old in 1939 when the Russian police seized his home and imprisoned his dad. He was flung on to the streets with his mother and two sisters.Transported in cattle trucks to Siberia, they were forced to work on a farm with other refugees until 1941, when Soviet leader Stalin released all Polish deportees.The family, who were said to be on the brink of death, escaped and began a long journey to England. They later discovered that Michal’s father was shot dead in 1941.’Dad lost all material possessions, but maintained a deep sense of who he was,’ said Mel, who lives in Ealing, west London, with her husband Ben Morris, a television director, and their two daughters.’That has been passed on to me along with a strong pride about where I come from.’
