Stand Up To Cancer 2021 aired on Channel 4 last night (October 15) and the emotive show left viewers in floods of tears.
One segment that had them reaching for their boxes of Kleenex saw The Voice star Sir Tom Jones pay an emotional tribute to his wife Melinda.
Linda, as she was affectionately known, died in 2016 after a “short but fierce” battle with lung cancer.
The heartbreak was clearly as fresh as the day it happened for Sir Tom, though, as he appeared on the fundraising show last night.
