Liberal Democrat Peer and one time I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestant Brian Paddick has returned to social media following the sudden death of his husband.
Earlier this week, Brian shared the tragic news on his Twitter page that his "loving husband" Petter Belsvik had died at their home in Oslo.
The 64-year-old told his followers that he was "devastated" by the "sudden" loss.
Announcing the sad news on Monday, Brian wrote: "My beautiful, loving husband, Petter Belsvik, has died suddenly at our home in Oslo. He was found peacefully alone, with no cause of death immediately apparent.
"It will take some time to establish what happened. We were devoted to each other & I am devastated."
Brian has since followed this up with another tweet days later as he thanked those who have shared their condolences.
He posted: "Thank you everyone who has posted such kind and positive words. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to respond to each of you individually, but I am so very grateful to each and everyone of you."
When he announced the new, Brian was met with a flood of messages.
Sky News journalist Kay Burley said: "My dear Brian, this is truly tragic news. All my thoughts are with you. Stay strong xxx"
While Loose Women and I'm A Celeb's Charlene White wrote: "Oh my goodness Brian, I'm so so sorry… Sending you and the family my love xx."
Former BBC Home Affairs correspondent and journalist Danny Shaw wrote: "So sorry to hear that Brian. What a terrible shock. Thinking of you."
Claire Fox added: "Oh Brian, how tragic. You have always spoken so lovingly of him. I am so, so sorry to hear this. Little to be said, except many will be thinking of you and sending as many positive thoughts of support as possible."
Brian and Petter met in a bar while on holiday in Ibiza before they went on to tie the knot in Norway back in 2009.
At the time of their nuptials, same-sex marriage had been legalised just over a week earlier and their ceremony was one of the first high-profile weddings since the legislation was put into place.
