Tiffany Youngs, the wife of former England and Lions rugby star Tom Youngs, has died after a long and “heroic battle” with cancer. She has passed away some six weeks after ex-Leicester captain Tom, 35, retired from the sport to return to Norfolk to care for her.
Tiffany was first diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma - a form of blood cancer - in 2014 and was given a terminal diagnosis. Four years later, she was told she was in remission.
However, her cancer then returned, resulting in Tom initially taking indefinite leave from rugby in October 2021, before later announcing his retirement from the sport this year.
