Actor Carey Mulligan continues to campaign alongside Alzheimer’s Society after penning a heartbreaking letter to her late Nans who died of the disease. Now, Gentleman Jack actor Suranne Jones has opened up about her late mum, while promoting a charity fundraiser in a video.

Jones, who also starred in Doctor Foster and Scott & Bailey, lost her mum two years ago after she was diagnosed with vascular dementia.

While baking cupcakes for Alzheimer’s Society’s Cupcake Day with Paul Hoskins, who is living with a Pick’s disease diagnosis, Jones asked him a question that she never got the chance to ask her mum.

“One of the questions I would have liked to ask my mum. Her dementia kind of accelerated quite fast. So I wasn’t able to, but: what does it feel like to you?” she said. “Do you recognise in yourself that you have changed?”
