X Factor star says he still has 'no answers' as he marks a year since fiancee's sudden death on wedding day

X Factor star Tom Mann has paid tribute to his fiancee Danielle Hampson a year after he was left heartbroken by her sudden death. The mum-of-one was just 34 when she died on what would have been their wedding day. She left behind Tom and their baby son. Danielle did not suffer from any known health problems and her cause of death is unknown.

On Sunday, June 18, Tom - who found fame in the band Stereo Kicks - took to Instagram where he posted a stunning black and white image of a beaming Danielle holding Bowie and paid tribute to her exactly a year after her death. He said: "1 year ago, I put on my suit expecting to meet you at that town hall & tell you ‘I do’. I ended up wearing it in a hospital waiting room. 1 year ago, my biggest worry had been that unbearable heat. It was impossible to know the unbearable pain that was about to come. 1 year ago, I had woken up beside you for the last time.

"No answers to how or why, and no words to articulate any of these feelings. Nothing makes any sense & everything has changed. I don’t know why you couldn’t stay. Dan, Bowie will know everything that you were to everyone that knew you. He will know your love & light over your loss. I am so very grateful that someone as special as you chose me. Thank you for letting me love you."
