Speaking to The Courier Mail, Ciseau’s sister, Lauren, paid tribute to her brother, calling him “a ray of sunshine”.

“He had so much energy and constantly wanted to be around people,” she said. “His favourite word to describe himself was jovial.”

Home and Away star Christie Hayes also paid tribute to Ciseau, writing on Instagram: “Just read the devastating news, my sincere love to James family, and especially his beautiful little girls.”

She added: “All my love to his mother Deborah, also, my heart breaks for you losing your son. What a beautiful soul he seemed and this world a better place with him here on it. My sincere condolences to his family and friends, you are all in my thoughts this evening.”

He added: “I’ll make you the happiest person in the world, and I love the s*** out of you.”
