X Factor’s Tom Mann ‘in shock’ as he breaks silence weeks after fiancée died

X Factor star Tom Mann admitted he’s still “in shock” as he shared an update following the death of his fiancée on their wedding day.

Almost three weeks after the 28-year-old musician was set to marry his bride, the musician took to social media to share a touching tribute.

His partner Danielle Hampson died on June 18, leaving behind her fiancé and the couple’s eight-month-old son, Bowie.

In his latest heartfelt message, Mann said he felt an “indescribable loss” as he slowly came to terms with the tragic death of his partner.

Alongside the message, the father-of-one reflected on his pain while also feeling glimpses of love.

“Nearly three weeks on from what will always remain the worst day of my life,” he wrote in the Instagram story.

“Still in shock & still no words – my beautiful Dani is an indescribable loss.

“Nothing can be said or done but I need to acknowledge the immense amount of love, kindness & support that Bowie, Dan’s family, my family & I have received. It has overwhelmed us.”

He added: “In this darkest of times, it is extremely difficult to feel anything other than sadness, let alone gratitude, but we have found glimpses of feeling that union of love that has come from far & wide for our Dani.

“She was the best of the best, and that is testament to her. Thank you.”

In a second post, Mann shared a picture of Hampson as she cuddled their young son.

Mann’s latest update came almost three weeks after the Stereo Kicks artist confirmed his partner had died on what would have been their wedding day.

The couple had been engaged since 2019.

Tributes have continued to pour in as friends and fans flocked to stupport the family.

No cause of death has so far been revealed for Hampson and she reportedly didn’t suffer from any pre-existing health issues.
