X Factor star Tom Mann shared a heartbreaking tribute to his late fiancée Danielle Hampson one year after her death.

Tom is best known for his appearance on the ITV singing competition in 2014, where he starred as one of eight members of the boy band Stereo Kicks.

The group was formed by the judges after each member was initially sent home as a solo artist, and they gained a legion of fans during their time on the show.

Tom shared the devastating news of Hampson’s death last June, expressing disbelief he was forced to write such a statement.

One year on, and Tom has paid tribute to his late fiancee with a black and white picture of her holding their son Bowie.

‘1 year, somehow,’ he penned.

‘1 year ago, I put on my suit expecting to meet you at that town hall & tell you “I do”. I ended up wearing it in a hospital waiting room.’

He added: ‘1 year ago, my biggest worry had been that unbearable heat. It was impossible to know the unbearable pain that was about to come.1 year ago, I had woken up beside you for the last time.

‘No answers to how or why, and no words to articulate any of these feelings. Nothing makes any sense & everything has changed. I don’t know why you couldn’t stay.’

He continued: ‘Dan, Bowie will know everything that you were to everyone that knew you. He will know your love & light over your loss.

‘I am so very grateful that someone as special as you chose me. Thank you for letting me love you.’

While they never married, Tom assured Hampson that he ‘will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.’

Tom held a memorial for Hampson, resharing a post to his Instagram story which read ‘Today was for our Dani,’ along with a white heart emoji and a praying emoji.

He also posted a photo of the pair kissing, penning: ‘There are honestly no words to describe just how much I miss you Dan. Forever and always.’

Tom confessed to being ‘completely broken’ as he tried to process the tragedy, and admitted he ‘honestly doesn’t know where to go from here.’
