Influencer Niamh Cullen has announced the tragic death of her husband Jamie Gill after an illness.
The couple’s one-year wedding anniversary was earlier this month.
Cullen (32) shared the devastating news on her Instagram with a black and white video capturing her and Jamie dancing together in slow motion.
Just weeks ago, Cullen had shared the news of her husband’s cancer diagnosis.
“The unimaginable has happened,” she said today.
“My beautiful husband has been taken from us. The light of my life. I was the luckiest to be loved and adored by you Jamie.
“I love you endlessly, not just now, but eternally.”
Cullen posted a separate message two weeks ago explaining the development of Jamie’s illness which, she said, left her world “broken”.
On the third day of their wedding just outside Rome, in Italy a year ago, Jamie randomly took ill and spent 10 subsequent days in hospital before flying back home where he underwent scans to determine the nature of his sickness.
He had surgery two weeks before Christmas which revealed a cancerous tumour.
“All I want to do is just swap places or take it away,” she added.

“Our world shattered in an instant, but we remained strong.”
This was followed by 10 rounds of chemotherapy which, on the tenth round, culminated in Jamie being hospitalised with pneumonia which turned into sepsis.
Doctors subsequently informed the couple that Jamie’s cancer had returned.
She has received a flood of tributes under her post from friends and fans alike, with one comment describing her husband as radiating “joy and happiness” while another described the tragedy as “beyond cruel”.
