Former X Factor contestant Tom Mann has held a memorial for his late fiancée after she tragically died on what was supposed to be their wedding day.
Dani died on Saturday June 18, at the age of 34, leaving behind the eight-month-old son she shares with Tom, called Bowie.
Tom, 28, is best known for his appearance on the ITV singing competition in 2014, where he starred as one of eight members of boy band Stereo Kicks.
On Monday, Tom announced his wife-to-be died on what was supposed to be their most special day, taking to social media to share: ‘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.’
Pouring his heart out in the Instagram caption for a picture of his partner and their baby, he 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.’

He confessed to being ‘completely broken’ as he tries to process the tragedy, admitting he ‘honestly doesn’t know where to go from here.’
But, he wants to ‘use any strength I can muster for our little boy,’ despite feeling he will ‘not be a mark’ on the parent that Dani was.
‘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,’ he continued.
‘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.’

He signed off by calling his ‘darling’ fiancée ‘the brightest light in any room’, saying his world is ‘nothing but darkness’ without her.
‘I will miss you forever,’ Tom concluded.
