In this touching episode Mark opens up about losing both his parents - mum during his A-Levels and Dad during his university finals (he still got a double first from Cambridge - a fact he reminded me of during our chat).

Hear more from Mark on using his comedy to cope with grief in this episode of My Mum Made Me.
