Martin Roberts supported by fans after devastating loss

Martin Roberts has received a raft of support from fans after sharing a devastating loss on Instagram.

The Homes Under The Hammer star took to the social media platform to tell his followers, whom he considers his "friends", that his dad died yesterday at the age of 90.

Martin, 59, said: "I'm not sure if I should be posting this or not, I guess people deal with things in different ways. This is a very private thing but I need to surround myself around as many people as I can who care right now and I consider you my friends."

The TV personality said his father died peacefully and wasn't in any pain, but added that while there is some comfort in this it "doesn't help right now". He explained feeling "alone" and asked fans for any words they may have to help him in this time.

Fans rushed to offer him support. Taking to the comments section, Catherine said: "Sending you lots and lots of love Martin. Sending you a huge hug, thanks for reaching out. We love you!"

Michelle said: "So sorry to hear about your dad Martin sending big hugs", and Myra said: "Nothing prepares you for this moment, take care." Jane said: "Love and sympathy to you and your family x".
