Davina McCall's dad's death will leave an "enormous hole in her life".
Davina McCall's dad has passed away
The 54-year-old TV presenter's father Andrew passed away on Monday night (28.02.22), but she is "so grateful" he wasn't in pain and that she was able to be by his side in his final moments.
She wrote on Instagram: "My Dad , Andrew , died on Monday night . He took a turn for the worse on Sunday but thankfully he wasn’t in pain. He was peaceful. Im so grateful for that, and that we could be with him (sic)"
Davina admitted she and her sister "hit the jackpot" with Andrew, who was robbed of the power of speech by Alzheimer's disease.
She added: "He was the best Dad I could ever wish for . My sister and I hit the jackpot . He always made time for us, opened his ( and my amazing mummas) house to all our friends, temporarily adopted mates of mine that needed help. He was a facilitator, always helping people with intros … he knew EVERYBODY. And they ALL loved him! I can’t imagine how many careers and businesses were started because of him. The word legend has been used many times to describe my Dad . He was a bon vivante, loved life, positive to the very end… “it just works” was one of the last phrases he was able to say as Alzheimer’s robbed him of the power of speech . He lived life . He loved us. And we loved him . With all our hearts . He leaves an enormous hole in our lives . (sic)"
