Take That's Howard Donald and Spice Girls 'shocked' after tour dancer's sudden death on wedding day

Take That star Howard Donald and The Spice Girls are among the stars who have paid tribute to dancer Dani Hampson after she passed away on Saturday on the morning of her wedding. Singer Howard says he's 'shocked and saddened' and 'gutted beyind words' by the tragic news.

The pop star from Higher Openshaw took to Twitter to pay tribute to Dani, who performed on Take That's Wonderland tour in 2017. He wrote: "I’m gutted beyond words that one of our dancers on Wonderland has passed away. What a beautiful and super talented dancer she was."

He added: "I’m happy to say I danced with her and the UK dance world will be shocked and saddened just like I am." On Monday (June 20) her grieving fiance Tom Mann announced his beloved partner had lost her life on the day they were set to tie the knot in a heartbreaking Instagram post.
