I think that filming of Mark and Nanny Di walking and chatting, will be remembered by them for many years to come. Such a significant milestone and breakthrough in understanding their relationship and memories of their lives together. Was so beautiful and poignant to watch. Thank you for sharing that with us Mark. I think Nadia was correct, Christmas is about families, relationships and life on a deeper level - and should not be based on commercialism. Such a special Vlogmas 💗💙xx
I felt quite privileged watching Mark and Nanny Di sharing memories especially as some are not easy. Love can be very complicated but very rewarding too ❤
I just want to put my arms around you Mark and Nanny Di .... you two are amazing! Such a sad and beautiful journey you were both on - Love you both! Tears are rolling down my face .... I love the relationship you both have! Sending you two so much love and thank you for taking us down memory lane with you! 💚💚
This was THE most gorgeous , gorgeous vlog. Honestly so emotional watching this. As a mum myself I could feel Nanny Di's pain when she started remembering things from that time and you can just see how much she wishes some things were different for you Mark. Can completely relate to the feelings you must have had too Mark. So special that you both have come out the other side of your struggles and have the relationship that you do. Best vlog so far for me and Ive been here from day one 😊
Thank you for your words - you capture perfectly how i think we both felt … it’s actually been an opportunity to re-see each other as mother and son again ❤️
Oh my goodness Mark. Sat here in tears watching that. That was so beautiful. Huge thanks to you and Nanny Di for sharing your memories with us. What an honour to be included in such a special, healing experience. I'm so moved by your relationship and that you found your way back to each other with such compassion and empathy. I lost my Mum young and we never got to experience that full circle moment as two adults really seeing each other. So thank you for sharing this. xxx
WOW, that caught me of guard...I'm a blubbering mess! You have been promising to this vlog with Nanny Di for a while Mark and it did not disappoint. I just love the relationship between you both, so beautiful to see you take that emotional trip down memory lane. I guess it's those difficult times that make us grow stronger and you should be so proud of the man you are today Mark. So kind, caring and thoughtful, a fantastic husband and father. Thank you for sharing with us the true meaning of Christmas and what it should really be about. Happy Christmas to you all, lots of love and hugs X❤
Sat watching this in tears. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment in time Mark. This is what Christmas is about. Memories, loved ones & time together. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ xxx
Mark, that walk down memory lane with Nanny Di got me very teary eyed. Everything that the 2 of you have been through and the retelling of the stories while walking down memory lane and seeing yours and Nanny faces, moved me deeply. You needed each other back then as you still do now. Such a bond you have with each other. Thank you for sharing such a very personal time in your youth years. Nadia, did Carol offer you some Brussel sprouts to take home. That certainly was a lot of spouts...lol
These were the sweetest moments I have ever seen with Mark and Nanny Di, and you could tell how tough it had been at times for them but also so many happy times too, and great to see how they have come so far, thank you for sharing this with us it was so beautiful xx
Mark, that was such a wonderful film, and the relationship that you and Nanny Di have is something that you both should be very proud of. The memories that you share, although difficult at times, should be treasured, not many people can say they share the bond that you and Nanny Di do with a parent. Simply because not many who have experienced what you both have, would be fortunate enough to come out the other side. xx
I really want to say Mark that you're an utter genius. The way you segued between the poignant conversation of you and your Mum, to the fun and struggles of Nadia's day (including sprout insanity), was magical. It gives us all hope, because you and Nanny Di have communicated your way through past hurts. I'm sure Nadia will have played a huge part in this.. As another sub said, I feel privileged to have joined you on your special trip down memory lane, and felt very emotional watching. Sending you all love, hugs and thanks for everything you do. Jo xxx
Big hugs I was 15 when I had my first child now she’s 30 and I’m so proud of her it was hard but I got through it by myself had my first home at 16 so Ino how your mum must of felt bless her xxxx
Oh wow, such a special poignant episode with you and Nanny Di and the total contrast of Carol and the sprouts! Thank you for sharing your journey with us Mark. Xx
This may be my favourite Vlogmas so far. A moving biography in both sense of the word. Lovely to hear your memories; felt your emotion 💕. Also enjoyed as always the behind the scenes at Loose, Nadia you’re looking gorgeous.💗
Ah I loved this vlogmas , I could listen to nanny di telling her wonderful stories all day ❤️❤️ she has definitely lived and full and interesting life. Was in tears watching , very emotional and just wanted to give mark a huge hug at the end. Mark and nanny di have such a beautiful relationship ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow thank you Mark and Nanny Di for an exemplary example of how we as human beings have the ability to forgive and heal past wounds in such a mature and wholesome manner. Your relationship is such an example of compassion and understanding. The wounded healer comes to mind.
Mark, this is a really special vlogmas. Your shared journey is scarily similar to one in my own family, however now we’re stronger than ever. Thank you both for sharing it, I’m sure you’ll watch it back quite a few times over the years. ❤️
That was so emotional, can't 😢 stop the tears, it was like a documentary totally amazing. Just thinking of Mark as a little boy navigating his way through heavy "grown" up emotions and feeling happy when he had his mum all to himself after a relationship break up. Equally Nanny Di just a young girl finding her way. Best vlog ever ❤ really touching. Would love to see some photos of young Nanny Di. Mark you are a very talented 👏 filmmaker, your story should be made into one xx
I have been watching you guys since the beginning, and I love watching Mark and Nanny Di talk. We have seen their relationship evolve, and it has been brilliant.
Absolutely beautiful, got me crying. Love nanny di, what an amazing lady... and mark what an amazing son, husband and father you are. Nadia you looked stunning xx. Much loves to you all. 🥰🥰💐💫
Wow just wow , from crying with laughter last night to crying at mark and nanny di walk what a beautiful thing really emotional, thank you your vlogs are amazing 💕💕💕
You'll never know how much it meant to me to watch Mark & Nanny Di reminiscing about days gone by. A bond between a mother and son is a strong one, I know, my son (31) and I have a wonderful relationship and I'm so grateful for that. He's not only my son but my best friend. We've seen each other through a lot in life, and it has bought us closer than I could have ever imagined. And he's given me the gift of three beautiful grandsons to which I am forever thankful. Mark & Nanny Di, I feel like WE are family ❤️🥰. Nadia, you had me laughing about the dang brussel sprouts 😂
The love between youre lovely mam is so special this moved me to tears thinking about my young days. Mark youre an inspiration . Thank you to you all xxx
Very special to come along with you and see you reminisce the old days, loved it and felt very honoured to be allowed to to see this! But also loved the mix with back stage at Loose Woman, hysterical and made me control the tears with some giggles! Thank you! Worth the wait as always! 🥰
That was so lovely to watch before I went to sleep, I had a few moments while watching and was struck by how gentle Mark and Nanny Di are, loved it xxx ❤️❤️
I felt emotional Mark on your walk down memory lane also thanks for articulating so well the relationship with your mum I had a hard childhood due to my mums mental illness 😍💓💓😍💓😍your words help
Much love and happiness, thank you for sharing the love, laughter, tear's and joy. What a rollacoaster of life! Keep on keeping on here's to 2022! ×× 🎅🎄🎉🐨
I love your trip down memory lane 💜 My family and I visited this very area in 2019 from Indiana. We are at a wonderful little restaurant across from Nottinghill Bookshop. We fell in love with the area instantly. Even more special now knowing it's connection to you and your beautiful mother.
Thank you Mark for taking us on your memory walk with Di. It was very moving and to see how your relationship has evolved thru the experiences. Very special Much love xxx💖
Mark, I was tearing up watching you and Nanny Di taking a walk down memory lane. That must have felt very special for you both. Thank you for reminding us of the rue value of Christmas, family ❤️
This is such a brilliant vlogmass. What is Christmas about? Not expensive gifts, not shop til you drop. It’s about love and connection with family. Try remind me of a Nanny Di and Mark “Ghost of Christmas past” I found it very emotional, thankfully Marks tears came from a place of healing, I lost both parents by the time I was of 32, I’m now 55. Please everyone treasure your loved ones, make happy memories, people how much you love them for we are both promised a tomorrow. And finally …. as Chris Searle would say, look at all of those sprouts!!!! ( I did love That’s life ) - much love ❤️ to you all xx
So heart warming seeing Mark and Nanny Di retrace their steps. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us, it was so special. We need to value our memories and revisit them from time to time to understand why decisions were made. I was moved to tears myself watching you both but know that everything you went through at that time has made you into the fabulous people we see here today. 💕
Gosh mark a very interesting vlogmas, I am amazed with your upbringing how you grew up to be such an upstanding hard working young man! You are such a credit to your mum snd nanny Thelma who must have had such an influence in your life, I just love listening to you ♥️
nadia you looked really nice today. loved your outfit! 🥰 thanks for everything you and mark do on the channel. it really helps me escape and makes me feel normal and not care as much what other people think of me. with mental health struggles in particular. and its not something to be hidden like ive felt myself growing up. ive only started dealing with my mental health in my 20s and i think it started when i was around 7. my family thought i was misbehaving and bad but i actually had sensory issues and i couldnt communicate to them in a way they could understand. i tried but they all thought i was naughty and causing trouble when i would have meltdowns. you guys would have been great to have around. it has left my relationship with my family very unhealthy at times feeling angry and upset about everything i went through and how no one took the time to understand what was going on. sad really. no im in my late 20s. ive been homeless and now ive managed to find people to help support me in the ways i need. i have someone for financial support, a psychiatrist, and im doing dbt group therapy which is helping me. it took a long time. but im getting there. and i finally have my own flat. its empty but its mine. mark you and nanny di's trip down memory lane was very moving. just goes to show even though you went through hard times your mum did too and you both got through it together. 🥰🥰 looking forward to the next vid :D
Thank you Mark and nanny Di for sharing the reality of our mixed up lives.I always think people who have the guts to turn a spot light and admit to themselves non of us are perfect or have perfect lives are richer kinder and more understanding people .The most privileged cannot escape look at the royals you would think could want for nothing, yet behind the curtain the wizard is flawed.
Mark. Watching you n nanny di has brought me to tears. You are so amazing how you have come through. Please do more like this. It is real and the way you edited it with fun from Nadia at loose women. Your mum have had a rough ride but she taught you about life and a lot of us have memories similar Love your vlogs.
Mark how proud & grateful must your daughters be of you.A truly inspirational Dad, keep well Mark & many thanks to you & the lovely Nadia for helping us through these trying times we are forced to live in x
I was going to comment and say how this reinforced my idea that it's never good to go back and revisit somewhere you've lived before... but ... your honesty at the end there, Mark, completely changed my mind. It was obviously deeply cathartic for both you and Nanny Di.
Thank you for sharing Mark and Nanny Di ... Merry Christmas.. You should both be extremely proud of yourselves at what you have achieved in building a warm, funny and genuine fami!y.
Oh I loved the reminiscing and going down memory lane. I got quite emotional really, it took me back to my special memories of being with my mum, and how much I miss her. I was in my 20s when I lost my mum and times were hard, but my memories will stay with me forever. You have such a special bond with your mum it's quite beautiful to watch. Family is so important to me and I no it is to you and Nadia too. As the old saying goes" thanks for the memories " 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, I am in tears at Mark at the end, that trip with his mum really affected him. She was young like I was with my first boy and it kinda brought back memories for me too that I was very young and we didnt have alot. I was a baby having a baby. When Mark said he loved his mum, it broke me as my first born doesnt contact me as he struggles with the death of my second son, he was murdered in 2011 and he cant cope very well. This was very touching indeed x
Wow. How very, very special to be able to walk down memory lane with your Mum. It was very touching and brave. Thanks for sharing. It’s really got me thinking about my own family and how childhood events have shaped the person I am today. This really is what Christmas is all about. Family, forgiveness, togetherness & love. ❤️
Loved every minute with tears rolling down my cheeks … thanks for sharing that with us Mark and darling little nanny Di …. Mwah 💋 Not forgetting the delights of being back stage with you Nads … thank you 🙏 love you all ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mark, that was so beautiful, completely cried with you but happy tears. Your mum is one very special lady and I think many of us subs feel very protective of her ❤️
I think it keeps you grounded your there for each other and makes you appreciate everything you have I didn't have much growing up and now I'm thankfully for what I have xxx
Mark, the music choices you add to the scenes when there is no dialogue just pictures is really emotional you really seem to hit me in the pit of my stomach I'm sure you really take time to add the right music. I can't believe how it seems to effect me. You are so talented thank you.
You've both come such a long way Mark and Nanny Di. This was one of your most touching vlogs. Thanks for sharing it. Nanny Di, despite your hardships, you raised a really decent man and it's so lovely to see how well you get on with each other. At least you DID have each other during those darker periods of your lives. Happy Christmas to all of you.
"I was too scared to come downstairs in case you were dead" This is exactly what happened to me, my husband was 40, I came downstairs on holiday in Cyprus and he had slept on sofa and died during the night! The most shocking moment of my life but had never imagined anything like that :(. Never got over it, life is still a knock on from something so awful.
Mark, I have to say how much I loved the films of you and your mum was absolutely wonderful. So emotional and poignant. Thank you for sharing this very moving journey. Its something I will never forget. Love to you both ❤️
Definitely the best vlog so far. So lovely to see the areas around London I’ve heard of but probably will never see, best of all though the memories those places hold for mark and nanny Di. You could see on her face how those memories were impacting. That background has definitely made mark the sensitive person he is today. What a great editor he is too. Lovely to see Nadia in her Gorgeous dress so beautiful, nice to see what goes on behind the scenes at loose women too.
I do t think I have been so sentimental for such a long long time I am 52 and this made me think of memories I had forgotten I went on a journey with you and I have sobbed it was beautiful do you know dear nanny Di may have had a turbulent time when you were small with drink and drugs but you know what Mark what is beautiful is she remembers special times with you taking you out of school and going to the cinema to some may seem trivial but to you and her that was bonding time . This vlog has made a imprint on my heart forever just beautiful I loved every single minute I laughed with you and felt so emotional 😭 too . Thankyou for sharing x
Oh my goodness, I too, felt privileged to hear the memories from both Mark and Nanny Di as they walked around their old haunts, comical at times and touching at others. Relationships can become quite complicated sometimes but your deep feelings for each other shine though. I really enjoyed sharing your special memories. Thanks Mark.
First thing I've watched on this channel. I'm an American who loves Loose Women even though all I see is the little 5 minute clips on RUclips. So I actually just came to see some behind the scenes action! Then ended up being really moved by the stories of Mark and his mum. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Oh my gosh Mark you are soo blessed to have shared that day with your mom. And your both right she was so young and innocent. Trying to do the best she new at the time. This was so special thank you for sharing. I was crying in my kitchen with you. Merry Xmas.
Oh Mark and Nanny Di, I love this, I'm crying for ye, ye're relationship and love is so real, deep and true, thanks so much for including us, I feel honoured ❤ You'll always be her boy 💞💞💞

What is such a beautiful thing from you the words about how your mum was used by so many people and you recognised that and your emotions are still deep inside. You and your mums relationship is beautiful because you keep it real and yes often she was never there but now she needs you and you would never not be there that shows the love you have for her. ❤❤❤❤

A beautiful vlog to watch. Have been following you guys from the beginning so felt so attached watching that! The look in Nanni Di eyes when you slowed down and got to the flat it’s like you could see the memories flashing back to her made me feel so choked up x
What a special Vlogmas! The trip down memory lane with Mark and Nanny Di was quite an emotional one, but helped to explain why the two have such an extraordinary bond. I loved the Loose Women behind the scene hilarity! I may have to give that twerk move a try. So sad that the Christmas party had to be canceled. Seeing that empty restaurant broke my heart.
Thank you so much for letting us come along with you down memory lane. You have a truly special relationship. I felt every emotion. Thank you both , this was so beautiful to watch xxxx much love ❤
Wow, amazing vlog. Beautifully shot and so sad/happy. I cried lots but also realised how lucky we all are to be able to share your lives now. They say our childhood makes us the people we become. All I can say is thank god for your childhood with Nanny Di because you are both truly loved beautiful people as I’m sure all your children will be too. Happy Christmas to you all xxxxx

Oh Mark that was a beautiful and heartfelt trip down memory lane with you and nanny Di, each having different places you remembered especially you Mark from when you were so young. I loved watching you both. Very emotional ending. 😢 but happy tears really. Thankyou Mark for everything. xxx 🥰

Very special to come along with you and see you reminisce the old days, loved it and felt very honoured to be allowed to to see this! But also loved the mix with back stage at Loose Woman, hysterical and made me control the tears with some giggles! Thank you! Worth the wait as always! 🥰
That was so lovely to watch before I went to sleep, I had a few moments while watching and was struck by how gentle Mark and Nanny Di are, loved it xxx ❤️❤️
How wonderful for your girls Mark, that they have such a precious memento of your life with Nanny Di.
The look on nanny di’s face as she walked up to the house broke my heart 😢
I felt emotional Mark on your walk down memory lane also thanks for articulating so well the relationship with your mum I had a hard childhood due to my mums mental illness 😍💓💓😍💓😍your words help
Mark, what a BEAUTIFUL relationship you have with your mum. So touching ❤️💕
Much love and happiness, thank you for sharing the love, laughter, tear's and joy. What a rollacoaster of life! Keep on keeping on here's to 2022! ×× 🎅🎄🎉🐨
This vlog is my all time favourite of Mark going down memory lane with his mom. Very emotional
I love your trip down memory lane 💜 My family and I visited this very area in 2019 from Indiana. We are at a wonderful little restaurant across from Nottinghill Bookshop. We fell in love with the area instantly. Even more special now knowing it's connection to you and your beautiful mother.
Thank you Mark for taking us on your memory walk with Di. It was very moving and to see how your relationship has evolved thru the experiences. Very special
Much love xxx💖
Mark, I was tearing up watching you and Nanny Di taking a walk down memory lane. That must have felt very special for you both. Thank you for reminding us of the rue value of Christmas, family ❤️
This is such a brilliant vlogmass. What is Christmas about? Not expensive gifts, not shop til you drop. It’s about love and connection with family. Try remind me of a Nanny Di and Mark “Ghost of Christmas past” I found it very emotional, thankfully Marks tears came from a place of healing, I lost both parents by the time I was of 32, I’m now 55. Please everyone treasure your loved ones, make happy memories, people how much you love them for we are both promised a tomorrow. And finally …. as Chris Searle would say, look at all of those sprouts!!!! ( I did love That’s life ) - much love ❤️ to you all xx
So heart warming seeing Mark and Nanny Di retrace their steps. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us, it was so special. We need to value our memories and revisit them from time to time to understand why decisions were made. I was moved to tears myself watching you both but know that everything you went through at that time has made you into the fabulous people we see here today. 💕
Gosh mark a very interesting vlogmas, I am amazed with your upbringing how you grew up to be such an upstanding hard working young man! You are such a credit to your mum snd nanny Thelma who must have had such an influence in your life, I just love listening to you ♥️
nadia you looked really nice today. loved your outfit! 🥰 thanks for everything you and mark do on the channel. it really helps me escape and makes me feel normal and not care as much what other people think of me. with mental health struggles in particular. and its not something to be hidden like ive felt myself growing up. ive only started dealing with my mental health in my 20s and i think it started when i was around 7. my family thought i was misbehaving and bad but i actually had sensory issues and i couldnt communicate to them in a way they could understand. i tried but they all thought i was naughty and causing trouble when i would have meltdowns. you guys would have been great to have around. it has left my relationship with my family very unhealthy at times feeling angry and upset about everything i went through and how no one took the time to understand what was going on. sad really. no im in my late 20s. ive been homeless and now ive managed to find people to help support me in the ways i need. i have someone for financial support, a psychiatrist, and im doing dbt group therapy which is helping me. it took a long time. but im getting there. and i finally have my own flat. its empty but its mine. mark you and nanny di's trip down memory lane was very moving. just goes to show even though you went through hard times your mum did too and you both got through it together. 🥰🥰 looking forward to the next vid :D
Thank you Mark and nanny Di for sharing the reality of our mixed up lives.I always think people who have the guts to turn a spot light and admit to themselves non of us are perfect or have perfect lives are richer kinder and more understanding people .The most privileged cannot escape look at the royals you would think could want for nothing, yet behind the curtain the wizard is flawed.
Mark. Watching you n nanny di has brought me to tears. You are so amazing how you have come through. Please do more like this. It is real and the way you edited it with fun from Nadia at loose women. Your mum
have had a rough ride but she taught you about life and a lot of us have memories similar Love your vlogs.
Mark how proud & grateful must your daughters be of you.A truly inspirational Dad, keep well Mark & many thanks to you & the lovely Nadia for helping us through these trying times we are forced to live in x
I was going to comment and say how this reinforced my idea that it's never good to go back and revisit somewhere you've lived before... but ... your honesty at the end there, Mark, completely changed my mind. It was obviously deeply cathartic for both you and Nanny Di.
Thanks for this - it really was - and i think it took us both by surprise 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing Mark and Nanny Di ... Merry Christmas.. You should both be extremely proud of yourselves at what you have achieved in building a warm, funny and genuine fami!y.
awesome , just loving this Mark and nanny Di walking down memory lane, it's what us subs has been waiting for, hearing their stories
Oh I loved the reminiscing and going down memory lane. I got quite emotional really, it took me back to my special memories of being with my mum, and how much I miss her. I was in my 20s when I lost my mum and times were hard, but my memories will stay with me forever. You have such a special bond with your mum it's quite beautiful to watch. Family is so important to me and I no it is to you and Nadia too. As the old saying goes" thanks for the memories " 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, I am in tears at Mark at the end, that trip with his mum really affected him. She was young like I was with my first boy and it kinda brought back memories for me too that I was very young and we didnt have alot. I was a baby having a baby. When Mark said he loved his mum, it broke me as my first born doesnt contact me as he struggles with the death of my second son, he was murdered in 2011 and he cant cope very well. This was very touching indeed x
Huge hugs to you ❤️
Wow. How very, very special to be able to walk down memory lane with your Mum. It was very touching and brave. Thanks for sharing. It’s really got me thinking about my own family and how childhood events have shaped the person I am today. This really is what Christmas is all about. Family, forgiveness, togetherness & love. ❤️
Loved every minute with tears rolling down my cheeks … thanks for sharing that with us Mark and darling little nanny Di …. Mwah 💋
Not forgetting the delights of being back stage with you Nads … thank you 🙏 love you all ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mark, that was so beautiful, completely cried with you but happy tears. Your mum is one very special lady and I think many of us subs feel very protective of her ❤️
I think it keeps you grounded your there for each other and makes you appreciate everything you have I didn't have much growing up and now I'm thankfully for what I have xxx
Mark, the music choices you add to the scenes when there is no dialogue just pictures is really emotional you really seem to hit me in the pit of my stomach I'm sure you really take time to add the right music. I can't believe how it seems to effect me. You are so talented thank you.
You've both come such a long way Mark and Nanny Di. This was one of your most touching vlogs. Thanks for sharing it. Nanny Di, despite your hardships, you raised a really decent man and it's so lovely to see how well you get on with each other. At least you DID have each other during those darker periods of your lives. Happy Christmas to all of you.
"I was too scared to come downstairs in case you were dead" This is exactly what happened to me, my husband was 40, I came downstairs on holiday in Cyprus and he had slept on sofa and died during the night! The most shocking moment of my life but had never imagined anything like that :(. Never got over it, life is still a knock on from something so awful.
Mark, I have to say how much I loved the films of you and your mum was absolutely wonderful. So emotional and poignant. Thank you for sharing this very moving journey. Its something I will never forget.
Love to you both ❤️
Oh my goodness, just finished watching it , just kept rewinding it , was so emotional to watch, thank you Mark for sharing.
Your mum is so loved by all the subs she’s a star!🥰
Definitely the best vlog so far. So lovely to see the areas around London I’ve heard of but probably will never see, best of all though the memories those places hold for mark and nanny Di. You could see on her face how those memories were impacting. That background has definitely made mark the sensitive person he is today. What a great editor he is too. Lovely to see Nadia in her Gorgeous dress so beautiful, nice to see what goes on behind the scenes at loose women too.
I do t think I have been so sentimental for such a long long time I am 52 and this made me think of memories I had forgotten I went on a journey with you and I have sobbed it was beautiful do you know dear nanny Di may have had a turbulent time when you were small with drink and drugs but you know what Mark what is beautiful is she remembers special times with you taking you out of school and going to the cinema to some may seem trivial but to you and her that was bonding time . This vlog has made a imprint on my heart forever just beautiful I loved every single minute I laughed with you and felt so emotional 😭 too . Thankyou for sharing x
So heart warming and healing- thank you for sharing it with us. I do just want to say - u and ur mum have come so far. Proud of u both. Love Jill xx
Oh my goodness, I too, felt privileged to hear the memories from both Mark and Nanny Di as they walked around their old haunts, comical at times and touching at others. Relationships can become quite complicated sometimes but your deep feelings for each other shine though. I really enjoyed sharing your special memories. Thanks Mark.
First thing I've watched on this channel. I'm an American who loves Loose Women even though all I see is the little 5 minute clips on RUclips. So I actually just came to see some behind the scenes action! Then ended up being really moved by the stories of Mark and his mum.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Oh my gosh Mark you are soo blessed to have shared that day with your mom. And your both right she was so young and innocent. Trying to do the best she new at the time. This was so special thank you for sharing. I was crying in my kitchen with you. Merry Xmas.
Today you made lovely memories with your Mum, and I feel privileged to have watch it.. Bless you Mark and Nanny Di.. xx

Watching this in floods of tears. Your emotions really came through Mark, thank you for sharing a journey that had so many emotions in your young life. What is such a beautiful thing from you the words about how your mum was used by so many people and you recognised that and your emotions are still deep inside. You and your mums relationship is beautiful because you keep it real and yes often she was never there but now she needs you and you would never not be there that shows the love you have for her. ❤❤❤❤

What a strong relationship you have now, I want to thank you for sharing that precious memory you had with her Mark 🤗💕 laughing too at Carol the brussel sprout Queen 😂 was great to see behinds the scenes at Loose 😍👍🏻❤️
A beautiful vlog to watch. Have been following you guys from the beginning so felt so attached watching that! The look in Nanni Di eyes when you slowed down and got to the flat it’s like you could see the memories flashing back to her made me feel so choked up x
Mark that was a special walk with your Mom down memory lane. Loved every moment of it. I know the place so well. Big thank to you both.
So so special Mark!! You and Nanny Di having a walk and talking was beautiful! ♥️
What a special Vlogmas! The trip down memory lane with Mark and Nanny Di was quite an emotional one, but helped to explain why the two have such an extraordinary bond. I loved the Loose Women behind the scene hilarity! I may have to give that twerk move a try. So sad that the Christmas party had to be canceled. Seeing that empty restaurant broke my heart.
Thank you so much for letting us come along with you down memory lane. You have a truly special relationship. I felt every emotion. Thank you both , this was so beautiful to watch xxxx much love ❤
Wow, amazing vlog. Beautifully shot and so sad/happy. I cried lots but also realised how lucky we all are to be able to share your lives now. They say our childhood makes us the people we become. All I can say is thank god for your childhood with Nanny Di because you are both truly loved beautiful people as I’m sure all your children will be too.
Happy Christmas to you all xxxxx

Omg this was so lush Mark,when you look at it retrospectively, everything happens for a reason, you were meant to move to london, that led you to nadia and the love of film it all seem like a path
