Martine’s emotionally charged post comes after the tragic death of her brother, Laurence John, earlier this year.
The mum-of-one told fans on Instagram how her heart was “forever broken” following the loss of her brother in September. She shared two photos, one of Martine hugging her ‘baby brother’ and another of him smiling at the camera.
“My heart is forever broken… My baby brother, my gentle giant, sadly passed away, suddenly, 2 weeks ago,” Martine wrote. “He was 31 years old. There is no medical explanation as to why we lost him so soon and whilst we investigate further, we are having to accept that nothing will bring our boy back to us.”
