The Sun reports that Tanya wanted her loved ones to be together this Christmas so they could comfort each other.

The newspaper quotes a source, who said: “Tanya bought flights for everyone. All the family are going. She knew she wasn’t going to be around and didn’t want Vinnie to be lonely at Christmas.”

It was typical of her to be thinking of others even though she was going through such a horrendous time.
