Leeds United icon Vinnie Jones is set to open up about his last heartbreaking 12 months in an interview with Piers Morgan.
The former footballer, 55, a huge Leeds United favourite, will be appearing on Saturday night’s edition of Pier Morgan’s Life Stories. Last year, Vinnie’s wife Tanya tragically died aged just 53, after a six-year battle with cancer.
This will be Vinnie’s second appearance on Life Stories with his first coming back in 2009 - when his wife was in the audience. Our colleagues at The Mirror report host Piers has discussed the emotional new interview before it airs tomorrow.
Piers explained: "Within three minutes, I showed Vinnie a clip of the last Life Stories, to tee up why we were doing it again, and there was Tanya in the audience.
"And he immediately crumbled, he hadn't seen the video footage of her, he said, for quite a while, and it hit him.
"It was so raw and moving and uplifting in a way, it was the most extraordinary love story, beauty and the beast in many ways.
"They had first met when they were 12 years old and they got to together in their late teens."
You can watch the full interview on ITV1 at 10pm on Saturday, September 5.
