Bobby Davro pens heartbreaking tribute to Vicky Wright and vows to 'always love' fiancée

Bobby Davro has vowed to "always love" his late actress fiancée Vicky Wright in a heartbreaking tribute shared days after her death was announced.

The comedian, 64, has remained silent on social media since it was announced Vicky had died on May 3.

More than a week on from the sad news, Bobby has taken to Twitter to pay tribute to his beloved fiancée.

He wrote: "It's been just over a week since my beautiful @vickywright5459 left this world and its only now I feel strong enough to share my feelings. I want to thank everyone for their support and expressions of love and kindness you have shown me and Vicky's family and loved ones..."

Bobby, who proposed to his long-term partner Vicky Wright last year after 12 years together, added: "To think we will never hear her voice to hear laughter look into her beautiful eyes see her smile to hold her and to kiss her is devastating and so incredibly painful.

"She will be in my thoughts and in my heart forever. She was my Schluffe and I loved her and always will," followed by a broken heart emoji.

The comedian added in a final tweet, alongside a beautiful photo of Vicky: "I will miss you so very much and I will love you forever. RIP my beautiful Schluffe. No more pain darling. No more pain" followed by a heart emoji.

Vicky's death was announced on Twitter as a photo of the actress, who was England legend Billy Wright's daughter, and her daughter Kelly Wright-Warhurst was shared on Vicky's Twitter page.

A statement above the image read: "Hello everyone... Some incredibly devastating news to share... My wonderful mum Vicky has sadly passed away this morning,I wanted to use this platform to let you all know, as I know how much she valued all your love and support in so many ways."

Vicky's dad, Wolverhampton Wanderers and England footballer Billy Wright had also battled the disease, passing away in September 1994 aged 70, just months after his diagnosis.

Bobby's Twitter tribute isn't the first time the comedian has spoken out about Vicky's death.

It was reported he appeared in four live shows of Jim Davidson's Left, Right & Centre, which is on Jim's comedy streaming channel Ustreme.

Bobby Davro said, Express and Star reports: "She was the love of my life and I am devastated, but it helped me to get back out there on stage, surrounded by my friends. Without that, I would have been sat at home crying.

"I’m totally heartbroken. Vicky was the most beautiful person, inside and out.

"I can’t put into words how awful it was seeing her go through what she did."

Bobby added how he "almost" felt "relief" as Vicky was "no longer in pain" and she looked "so beautiful and at peace when she went".

"I loved her so much," he added.

Just days before Vicky's death, Bobby discussed hid beloved fiancée's cancer battle.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Dancing On Ice star Bobby said: "To see someone as beautiful as her with this illness is horrific, it's so sad."

He went on to explain that he has been able to keep himself preoccupied having thrown himself into work as part of a "distraction".

"Thank goodness I've got my work because it keeps my mind off this for a bit of time," he said before continuing: "I don't want the fact I'm keeping working to sound selfish."
