X Factor star shares poignant message from fiancee following tragic death as it's revealed wedding was postponed twice because of Covid

The X Factor star Tom Mann has shared a poignant message from his fiancee after announcing the devastating news that she had passed away. Dancer Dani Hampson, 34, died in the early hours of Saturday morning on what would have been the couple's wedding day.

Tom, 28, who was a member of the boyband Stereo Kicks in the 2014 series of the reality show, shared a heartbreaking post yesterday (Monday June 21) saying: "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."

Grieving the loss of his partner, Tom has now posted on Instagram Stories a moving poem that Danielle had shared on her own Instagram profile back in January 2019. The poem written by Allie Michelle reads: "Keep the honest moments close to your heart. The ones that are the most human."
