Nicola Nuttall, whose daughter Laura died of a rare form of brain cancer at the age of 23, has written a book in her memory.

Laura worked to raise awareness of the disease and inspired many by ticking off a bucket list of goals, including commanding a Royal Navy ship and meeting Michelle Obama.

Nicola's new book, 鈥楾he Stars Will Still Be There鈥�, is an honest account of how Nicola, her husband Mark, Laura and her sister Gracie coped after the diagnosis.

Ahead of the book鈥檚 release, 5 Live Drive鈥檚 Tony Livesey went round to Nicola鈥檚 for a cuppa and a catch up.

Speaking about her daughter, Nicola said: 鈥淚鈥檝e just got to convince myself that she鈥檚 here and she鈥檚 keeping an eye on us鈥�.

Nicola added that she wants to carry on doing things that would make Laura proud, as 鈥渢his is all for her really鈥�.
