She said: "You hear people say 'he passed away peacefully. It was lovely,' but it wasn't for Jonnie. It was a f****** awful process.
I wish I hadn't seen it but I had to be with him. I still struggle with what he went through. "I can't imagine what it is to know your time is up and you're hearing the noise of your three sons kicking a football in the drive; you can smell food cooking downstairs.
" It was recently revealed that Jonnie left his wife close to £1million in his will. He passed his entire £953,000 estate to his wife of seven years Jessica Irwin it was reported that his final will was signed in October 2022..
