Former X Factor contestant Tom Mann heartbreakingly vowed to make his late fiancée proud after she died on their wedding day. Tom, who took part in the singing competition with band Stereo Kicks in 2014, broke the news about Dani's passing on Monday as he promised to be the best dad to their eight-month old son.
He pledged to "use any strength I can muster for our little boy" after revealing his wife-to-be had passed away on Saturday, writes the Mirror. The 28-year-old shared a sweet photo of their son Bowie and his wife to Instagram, alongside the heartfelt promise about their child.
It read: "I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy." "I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud."

He started his post by telling his followers his "best friend" Dani died in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.
He said: "On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak. I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.
"I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you. I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy."
He described her as "the most beautiful person inside and out" and explained that while he will try to find peace in comments from his friends and followers, he will be "grieving for a very, very long time".
Among those leaving kind messages in the comments section of his heart-breaking post was singer Lewis Capaldi who simply wrote: "Love you brother." Tom Grennan also sent a similar message of condolence, which read: "I love you brother," followed by two love heart emojis.
Singer HRVY also wrote: "So so so sorry Tom, we all love you. Thinking of you man," while Mimi Webb penned: "Tom I’m so so sorry.
"Sending all my love to you & thinking of you. Love you brother x we are with you." Nadine Coyle also said: "Sending so much love, light & healing to you, Bowie & everyone who loved Dani!"
