Kym was very close with her father, who was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer three years ago, and previously said he ‘inspires’ her on a daily basis.
Last Father’s Day, she posted a heartfelt tribute to him on Instagram, writing: ‘Your strength in life has always been immeasurable.
‘You tackle everything life throws at you with a smile on your face and always a joke at hand.
‘You are the best dad anyone could wish for and I’m so glad you are mine. Here’s to you poppa bear! Always your shadow. Love you always and forever.’
David made an appearance on BBC’s Morning Live, which Kym co-hosts, in November where he discussed living with prostate cancer.
‘It’s daily,’ he told host Gethin Jones. ‘One day I’m alright and the next I’m bad, you know? That’s the way it is now.’
Kym said: ‘It really is day by day, you don’t know. We plan for things and we are trying to plan and make as many memories aren’t we?’
The star said coping with her father’s illness had brought her and her siblings closer adding: ‘I’ve got two older brothers and an older sister. Very rare that we all get together but we’ve all been doing lots together.’
