Mollie King reveals she was out walking with her dad the morning his fatal brain tumour was diagnosed

The Saturdays singer and Radio 1 presenter Mollie King has been showered with support after she took to Instagram to post a heartfelt tribute to her late dad in support of Brain Tumour Awareness month and to help raise money with her sister Laura, who is running the London Marathon next month in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity.

The mother-of-one, who welcomed daughter Annabella with fiance and cricketer Stuart Broad just days after her father's devastating death in November, posted a picture of her with her father, Stephen, and opened up about the "horrible disease" and his life before he was diagnosed so suddenly, just hours after she had been out walking her dog, Alfie, with him.

She wrote: "This month is Brain Tumour Awareness month. I’ve always tried not to let myself think about losing someone I love, it’s too hard to think about, but last year this fear became a reality. In August my wonderful Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour and we had to say goodbye to him just 3 months later. It’s still very hard to write about, I’ve been putting off writing this post because it’s easier to push it to the back of my mind and try to keep as busy as possible to cover up the heartache.
