Mum opens up on Late Late about her two children being diagnosed with cancer

Viewers were deeply moved by tonight's Late Late Show as a mum opened up about two of her children battling cancer.

Antoinette Doyle appeared on the show for a segment about giving old and broken objects a new lease of life. The Late Late Big Repair Challenge will restore five passion projects over the next few weeks and the selections appeared on tonight's show.Antoinette introduced a teddy bear that was given to her daughter Caitlin by her son Oisin."When he was five years of age, he was diagnosed with a very rare type of leukaemia," she explained. "Chemo doesn't work for it, so all they can try is a transplant and he passed away before he got the transplant.

"He was five and a half. The teddy bear was given to him in hospital and Oisin gave it to Caitlin when she was a year and a half old. Caitlin was diagnosed with leukaemia as well just before her fifth birthday. "Very near the end of the treatment she had a reaction to the chemo, which led to paralysis all down the left side of her body. She lost her speech and her swallow and she had to re-learn to do a lot of things. Needless to say, the teddy bear has been with Caitlin all her life.""Jesus @RTELateLateShow what are you doing to me?" wrote one viewer on Twitter, along with a GIF of someone crying.
