His daughter also told how her father suffered a heart attack on the morning of his death and was taken to hospital. 

Speaking to the publication, Holly paid tribute to her dad who she described as a ‘strong man’ and a ‘great guy’. 

She said: ‘He was my friend, he was such a strong, strong man. He was such a great guy, a really funny guy. He was loved by everybody really. Even by his ex-wife, who is with me today, my mum.

‘I don’t know what else to say. I’m numb, I just can’t get my head round it at the minute. I want to say so much more about him but I just don’t know what to say.’
