GB News presenter Colin Brazier has spoken of his happiness at finding love again after his wife Joanna Roughton lost her six-year battle with cancer in 2018.
Broadcaster and journalist Jo had been Sky News' head of foreign news until her retirement in 2012 and her tragic death four years ago left Colin a widowed father of six.
The couple's good friends, meanwhile - Mark and Olivia Warham - were going through similar heartache of their own at the time, which ultimately saw banker Mark pass away during the same year.
Colin revealed in an interview a year later that six months before she died, Jo had instructed him to marry again for the sake of his own sanity – and that path led him to Olivia.
"We were thrown together," the 54-year old told the MailOnline.
"Olivia and Mark were friends of ours and, sadly, Mark died of cancer around the same time as Jo.
"We bonded through our grief and are very happy together now. Olivia has three children and they get on really well with mine, so that's great."
Broadcaster Colin first revealed the shock news of Jo's passing in a short, heartfelt message on Twitter.
A the time he wrote: "Jo Brazier. Wife. Mother. Friend. Died peacefully July 6th 2018."
Just days earlier the star had asked his followers to "pray" for his wife during her final days at a local hospice in Salisbury.
"Please pray tonight for my magnificent darling wife, Jo Brazier," he said.
Previously, Colin detailed how his daughter, Edith, was forced to choose between her degree at Royal Holloway University and being with her terminally ill mother.
Writing about the incident in the Catholic Herald, he said: "The only sour note was struck by staff at Royal Holloway.
"Our eldest is in the first year of a geology degree there.
"She enjoys the course and has been doing well. She faced a difficult choice: drop out and forfeit all the work she's done, or be absent from her mother's side during what may be the final few weeks of her life.
"Bravely, and without prompting, she has decided to halt her studies and start again in September.
"The college authorities were blunt to the point of insensitivity.
"They wanted to see proof of her mother's illness and insisted that she leave her hall of residence room within a matter of days."
