Ken Dodd’s widow talks to him ‘every day’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ken Dodd’s widow still talks to him “every day”.
Lady Anne Dodd has revealed she still speaks to her late husband – who sadly died in 2018 at the age of 90 – and wants to honour his legacy so that his memory lives on.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I talk to him every day. I tell him what I’m doing.
“If I could say something to Ken today, I’d say, ‘I hope everything I’m doing in your name, for your legacy, is right and will carry on when I’m gone.’
“He was a wonderful person to spend your life with. I’m not sure I thanked him enough … but I do now.”
Lady Anne is working on a number of projects set to be named in Ken’s honour, and she is to release a book – ‘The Squire of Knotty Ash… and his Lady – An intimatebiography of Sir Ken Dodd’ – about their time together, as well as plans for a documentary and exhibition featuring his old notebooks and memorabilia.
She admitted: “He’d made me promise to burn them but I just couldn’t.”
And Anne has also candidly opened up about their wedding, which took place two days before his death after they had spent 40 years together.
She explained: “It was honouring a promise made years before. He’d said, ‘Oh, we will get married, we will, we will’. And I think it obviously struck him – I think I better had.
“He wasn’t anyone who liked to talk about death. But I think there’s a certain point a person knows they’re not very well.
“And I believe, by the way he said his vows, he was pleased to have done it.”
Ken began a career as a comedian in 1954, working in music halls, and achieved national fame and popularity by the 60s.
His recording of ‘Tears’ was the UK’s third-best-selling single back then, rivalling The Beatles, and he made it into the Guinness Book of Records for telling 1,500 jokes in three and a half hours.
The comic was a regular face on television throughout the 70s and 80s and became an OBE in 1982.
He received his knighthood in the New Year Honours in 2017.
