While discussing his mother's death, Dornan can be heard fighting back tears and was clearly very emotional throughout the discussion.
The Tourist star also said that his father Jim, who passed away during the pandemic, was very frank with telling him about his mother's terminal illness.
"I am sort of thankful it was told to me straight like that," he said.
"It’s a funny thing. I sometimes feel guilty saying this, but there’s a lot I don’t remember about her. You are not expecting any of that to be taken away."
Fans were struggling to hold it together listening to the emotional episode, with one listener commenting, "How did you hold it together Lauren Laverne? Jamie Dornan’s Desert Island Discs has broken me."
Another said: "Just when I thought I couldn’t love Jamie Dornan any more I listen to his Desert Island Discs and … well you know the rest. Well worth a listen. What a lovely man."
A third added, "Absolutely loved Jamie Dornan on Desert Island Discs this morning. Great music choices, and incredibly moving listening to him talk about the loss of his mum as a teenager and his dad from covid. Very emotional."
