"It was distressing on each level. I wasn"t ready, he wasn"t ready. He was terribly uncertain that I was going to hurt it for him somehow, that didn"t have clarity given I am an singer in my own right and had been in front of the camera. It was dreadful," she said.

Hamilton pronounced she hated concomitant her father to awards ceremonies given their attribute was descending detached at the back of the scenes.

In an talk with The Lady magazine, the singer claimed: "The parading around, the lunches, the highlight of being with Jim during the Titanic days - for years I could hardly get make-up on, I was jolt so hard, given each damn endowment show we had was terrible."
