Dame Esther Rantzen has revealed her dream final supper after admitting she is considering assisted suicide.

The Childline founder, 83, was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer last year, and has since revealed she has joined the assisted-dying clinic Dignitas in Switzerland. 

She has now told how she would love to enjoy some caviar and drink champagne as a final meal.

Dame Esther added that despite it making her feel sick in the past as she is allergic to champagne, she would love to consume both as there would be no worry over the consequences. 

She told LBC Radio on Monday: ‘I’d like to fly off to Zurich with my nearest and dearest. Have a fantastic dinner the night before.
