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.

“She wanted that family Christmas in place. It was a worry off her mind.”
Vinnie, who appeared on X Factor: Celebrity, was seen paying tribute to his late wife, who he had been married to for 25 years, during a performance of Madness’ It Must Be Love.
“I never thought I’d miss you, half as much as I do,” Vinnie sang, while pointing towards the sky.
“We know how much [that song] meant to you and who you were singing it to,” Vinnie’s mentor Nicole Scherzinger said.
