Bryony posted to her fans: “I loved this man, we argued, we hated each other, but we had love at one point and a beautiful daughter, rest in peace you silly thing!

She later shared a JustGiving page set up in memory of the late star.
The fundraiser aims to help raise funds for the star’s funeral.
The bio of the page reads: “Heavy D aka Colin Newell aka The Boominator known for his famous catchphrase ‘Booooom’ has passed away.
“People would describe him as a crazy eccentric like marmite.
“To us he was our friend, brother and father always there.
“A true jolly. The thought of not being able to call or seeing him is beyond anything.”
The message added: “We’ve set up this page in his memory and to raise funds for his funeral as soon as we have more information we will update you. Thank you.”
Heavy D and Bryony split at the end of 2016 after a very public war of words on social media on Christmas Day that year.
