Vinnie became emotional as he reflected on a moving letter Tanya wrote to their daughter before she died.

He said: “That [letter] said, ‘Don’t grieve, I will be waiting for you.’ I believe that. I’ve got something to look forward to… and she’s waiting.

“And in it [the letter] she wrote that something beautiful always happens to her, she wakes up to me.”

Speaking about his wife’s cancer battle, Vinnie added: “Over the years, all the hospital treatments and that, I’ve slept in a room with her every night.

“There was no way you’d leave her in there.

“She’d always say to me, ‘You’ll look after me Vin, won’t you.’ That’s the hardest thing, you can’t fulfil your promise.”

“I suppose in some ways I’m just hanging around, half-living, until I get to see her again.”
