“My dad will always be my hero.
“RIP Daddy.”

James wrote on Twitter to his 275,300 followers yesterday: “No one should have to go through what my family are watching my dad go through.
“I pray to God that you come soon and make him one of your angels.

“My dad is my hero @BrainTumourOrg needs your support.”
Last week James tweeted that his beloved dad was “not doing so well” as he remained in hospital for treatment as he battled cancer.
James was unable to visit his father due to coronavirus restrictions.
Addressing his followers at the time, he shared: “Missing my dad so much.
“He’s not doing so well in hospital, but hopefully we will get him home soon so we can all see him and be together.
“Love you dad.”
