He previously told ITV’s This Morning about the grieving process for his late wife and her loss, saying he struggled talking about her diagnosis before she died.

“Defeat was never really an option… advice to anyone coming into this or if you’ve gone through it, talking at that point when the person is still here,” he said.

“Because you will have many tormented nights after, being like, I wish I could have said more, I wish I could have done more, you hurt yourself if you don’t talk.”
