Of course, Roman went through a similar wave of emotions after his dad fell ill.
In the 1990s, Martin endured two brain tumours.
Roman concluded: “I’m fortunate that when my family went through something similar I got my dad back, and I pray for Darcey and William that they have that at some point.”
