Jean wrote: ‘My dad died earlier this month. I wasn’t sure whether to write about it but I decided I had to – for two reasons.

‘To honour the extraordinary life my dad lived and to express my heartfelt thanks to those who cared for him in his final days.

‘Many times I’ve read the phrase ‘They died surrounded by family’ and my dad truly was. He was bombarded with love at the end of his life, with my siblings and I taking turns in holding his hand for three days as he slipped away from us.’

Grieving Jean praised the staff at of Inverclyde Royal Hospital who gave her late father – who was born in 1944 in Kirkcaldy – the ‘highest level of care and respect.’

She thanked them for comforting her family at their ‘most vulnerable and terrifying time’, adding: ‘I will never forget their kindness and understanding.’

The presenter was also sure to mention her dad’s ‘brilliant’ home carers, who encouraged him and helped to ‘raise a smile.’

Jean’s tragic news comes after her fellow A Place In The Sun presenter Jonnie Irwin, 49, shared a health up date with fans amid his battle with terminal lung cancer.

The TV host revealed in November tumours had spread to his brain – two years on from his initial diagnosis.

Taking to his Instagram Stories last week, the TV personality revealed he had begun Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

A hyperbaric chamber is a highly-pressurized room or tube where a patient is given pure oxygen to breathe.

At this higher air pressure, the lungs are able to take in more oxygen than under normal conditions.

Jonnie shared a snap of the zip up portable chamber he was using after walking to the treatment centre via the high level bridge in Newcastle, and wrote: ‘And at the end of this walk…is this…hyperbaric oxygen therapy.’

It’s believed flooding the body with concentrated oxygen can help make cancer cells easier to kill with treatments like chemotherapy and radiation while also activating the healing process in your body.

However other studies have seen mixed and inconclusive results in the past with some believing it ineffective.

It comes after Jonnie has said he is planning to record video messages so he can still speak to his beloved wife and three children after he passes away.

Jonnie presented a segment about digital legacy on Morning Live earlier this month and left hosts Rav Wilding and Kimberley Walsh with ‘goosebumps’.

The Escape To The Country host said he is ‘taking every opportunity’ to give wife Jessica, 40, and their three children – son Rex, three and twins Rafa and Cormac, two – a bright future when he is no longer here.

After watching a segment about how a woman battling stage 4 bowel cancer records a short clip each day for her loved ones to watch when she is gone, Jonnie said he plans to do the same.

‘It’s amazing to think I too could speak to my wife and children after I pass away. My diagnosis has taken a lot from me but it has given me the ability to prepare.

‘The only way to make sure your digital legacy is as you like it, is to take control now. And I’m going to take every opportunity to do that for the people I love.’
