Speaking to Monday’s edition of Good Morning Britain from her home in Bristol, she said: ‘I wanted to speak to him longer, he said darling “I have to go” , I said “I’ll speak to you in the morning”… and then we got the call at 4 in the morning to say he’d passed away.
‘I never thought it would end like this. I Wish I could have been with him, we’re trying to get a funeral together and still wont be able to see him. There’s so much love out there, we’ve had so much support.’
