Tom Mann has said that he is "still in shock" when breaking his silence nearly three weeks after the death of his fiancee on what was meant to be the couple’s wedding day.
The 28-year-old former X Factor star was meant to marry his bride-to-be Danielle Hampson on June 18 but instead took to social media to share the tragic news that she had passed away.
The singer said at the time that he was "completely broken" by Danielle's death and today he has paid thanks to the outpouring of support he has received during the past few weeks.
In an Instagram story post, Tom shared a picture of him playfully kissing Danielle on the cheek, along with the caption: “Nearly three weeks on from what will always remain the worst day of my life.
“Still in shock & still no words – my beautiful Dani is an indescribable loss.
“Nothing can be said or done but I need to acknowledge the immense amount of love, kindness & support that Bowie, Dan’s family, my family & I have received. It has overwhelmed us.
“In this darkest of times, it is extremely difficult to feel anything other than sadness, let alone gratitude, but we have found glimpses of feeling that union of love that has come from far & wide for our Dani.
“She was the best of the best, and that is testament to her. Thank you.”
He also posted a picture of Danielle holding their son Bowie who was wrapped up in a snuggly onesie.
The couple had announced their engagement in December 2019 and their son was born in October last year.
Tom found fame on The X Factor in 2014 when he was part of the boyband Stereo Kicks, which was formed during the auditions.
The band briefly enjoyed some success but soon petered out and eventually split up in 2015.
