Broadcaster Louis Theroux visited Martin House Children's Hospice in Boston Spa and was interviewed by seven-year-old Hooriya.
Broadcaster and documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux visited Martin House Children's Hospice in Boston Spa on Tuesday 6 October. He toured the newly transformed facilities, including a new children's wing and hydrotherapy pool, and learned about the specialist palliative care the hospice provides to children and young people with life-shortening conditions.
The visit took an unexpected turn when Theroux was interviewed by seven-year-old Hooriya, a child supported by the hospice. Hooriya had prepared a list of questions for him covering topics ranging from his childhood to his favourite chocolate (Revels). Theroux said the interview was filmed and shared on Martin House's social media channels.
Theroux said: 'It was my first time visiting a children's hospice and I was really impressed by the facilities. Everyone at Martin House has made me feel incredibly welcome. I really enjoyed meeting Hooriya and being interviewed by her. I'm normally the one asking the questions, so it was a bit of a role reversal – I've certainly never had an interview quite like it before.' Clair Holdsworth, chief executive of Martin House, said the broadcaster had taken time to meet with the children and families he encountered during his visit.
