X Factor's Tom Mann posts heartbreaking poem from Dani on 'precious privilege to be alive'

Heartbroken X Factor star Tom Mann has shared another inspiring poem his late fiancée shared before her sudden death.

The 34-year-old singer announced on Monday night the love of his life died on the morning of their wedding - which was set to take place on Saturday.

The devastated musician took to his Instagram earlier this week to announce his tragic loss, in a lengthy post about the beloved mother of his child.

As he grieves her death, Tom has been remembering his "best friend" on social media with several uplifting quotes she previously posted.

On Thursday, he shared on his Story: "You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn.

"You're human, not perfect. You've been hurt, but you're alive.

"Think of what a precious privilege it is to breathe, to think, to enjoy, and to chase the things you love.

"Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty.

"We must keep putting one foot in front of the other even when we hurt, for we will never know what is waiting for us around the bend."

Tom shares eight-month-old son Bowie with Dani - who worked as a PR Executive in London.

The couple were set to tie the knot over the weekend, but Tom was left heartbroken to learn his future wife had died.

"I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June," he wrote on Instagram.

Tom continued: "On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak.

"I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.

"I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you."

On raising their son, he continued: "I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don't know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.

"I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.

“The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.

"My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever."
