Pregnant Kate Ferdinand reduced to tears as she recalls Rio's late wife's last act for children

Kate Ferdinand has been heard breaking into tears as she recalled the last precious acts of her husband Rio Ferdinand's late wife before her tragic death. The former Manchester United footballer shared three children with Rebecca Ellison - 16-year-old Lorenz, 14-year-old Tate and Tia, 11.

Before her death, aged just 34 in 2015 after a short battle with breast cancer, Kate has revealed that Rebecca managed one final amazing act for her beloved children.

Opening up about Rebecca's wish, Kate became emotional as she spoke to author Emily Dean on her Blended podcast. The former reality star, who announced she was pregnant with her and Rio's second child last weekend, shared how Rebecca managed to go to daughter Tia's fourth birthday party.
