Former X Factor star Jaymi Hensley has shared a touching tribute to late fiancé Olly Marmon on what would have been their wedding day.

Jaymi, who rose to fame as one-fourth of the boy band Union J in 2012, began dating Olly in 2009. After getting engaged, news broke that hair artist Olly had died after falling from a hotel window last month.

“A month since you since you were taken. A month of existing without you, that’s all I’m doing existing, I wish you were here,” Jaymi shared on September 12.

“I will never be ready, I miss you so much! I love you more than I’ve ever loved any one.”
