Holly Willoughby has taken a walk down memory to pay tribute to Delays frontman Greg Gilbert.
The 44-year-old singer explained earlier this week that his cancer treatment had now come to end, explaining that his future was “uncertain”.
In the emotional Twitter post, the father-of-two added that he was “being treated solely for pain relief”.
Greg, who was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2016, described his nurses as “angels” in the heartfelt post.
Wanting to pay special thanks to Greg, Holly explained that the “band would always have a place in her heart”.
Sharing a short clip of one of her favourite songs, the This Morning presenter wrote: “I remember @saraheawood introducing me to this band and their sound filled my head and soul…
