Sky Sports anchor Simon Thomas "Telling son his mummy had died was horrendous"
Very sad...
Simon’s wife Gemma passed away last November, just three days after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live’s Anna Foster, Simon spoke about his grief, and about supporting their son Ethan. Simon said: “You can’t dress it up, I said ‘mummy’s died’ and he collapsed onto the floor in tears. And we rolled around the floor together, and it was horrendous. I kept saying, we’re going to be ok.” To view the link you have to Register or Login |

Really heartbreaking interview. He is clearly an amazing dad and a credit to his family and I would like to think that his wife would be exceptionally proud of him.

Geez. Had no idea. Don't like celebs getting special attention when others are going through the same thing, but he seems to just want to put out there positive messages about how it is ok for guys to show they are hurting/encourage people to talk more to help people through grief.

Previously suffered chronic depression prior to his wife passing. Go on his Twitter account to read his full story. Traumatic stuff.

Tough viewing. Life can be unimaginably cruel sometimes.
