Pop star and TV presenter Mollie King who is engaged to Nottinghamshire cricketer Stuart Broad has spoken about her Christmas after her father sadly died earlier this year. In a post on Instagram the former Saturdays singer said she had been bolstered by being around family and seeing her new daughter with Broad laugh for the first time.
She said: “This year, more than ever, I’ve been so grateful to be surrounded by my family at Christmas time For me it’s been mixed emotions heading up to Christmas Day as I’ve feared all of us sitting down for lunch and having one chair less without our Pops at the table.
"I know I’m not the only one who will be missing a loved one this Christmas and my heart goes out to anyone who’s also going through this. I’ve kept reminding myself how lucky I am to be surrounded by so many of the people I love.
