Mr Motivator: My daughter's diagnosis changed my perception of health
A breakfast TV icon to kick off season 3 of Type 1 on 1? Oh go on then...
Derrick Evans MBE, better known as Mr Motivator, is this week's guest. King of the lycra-clad small screen throughout the 90s, he got the UK moving in their living rooms each and every morning with his uplifting workouts and memorable catchphrases. His daughter Abigail was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 19, causing a huge upheaval in her life - switching career paths and bringing her parents back to the UK to help her navigate the mental challenges of life with type 1 diabetes. Unfalteringly hopeful without shying away from the tougher parts of life with type 1, it's no surprise that Derrick brings the ultimate dose of motivation to this new series, as well as a huge amount of humility for the way that Abigail's experiences have challenged his own perceptions of what it means to be healthy. We also discuss the many challenges Derrick has faced in his own life, and what his long-standing career has taught him.
