Speaking about her dad, Jenna said: “Growing up, I was definitely a daddy’s girl. My dad got diagnosed with lung cancer about a year and a half ago and just very quickly deteriorated.”

Jenna proceeded to explain how much her dad meant to her, and how he’s inspired her to live life to the fullest.

She continued: “He passed away in February last year. He was a really good dad. We were really close. Since losing him, I have more of a positive outlook on life now and live life to the full.
“If you’re not happy, just make sure you change something. That was what made me go for my shot.”
Later on, Jenna could be seen clutching a framed photo of her dad on her wedding day in a sweet tribute to the man.
