Loose Women star Charlene White has revealed her dad, Denniston, took his own life after struggling with ‘a dark cloud he couldn’t lift’.
The Loose Women star wrote a tribute on Instagram announcing his death, which happened two weeks ago.
She explained that as a family, they had made the decision ‘not to hide the circumstance’ of their loss.
White described Denniston as ‘an amazing dad, stepdad, surrogate dad to many, friend, brother, grandad, uncle, cousin, and husband.’
She urged her followers: ‘Hug your parents close, and always tell them that you love them.
‘Because that’s sort of our job as children, the love them, no matter where the road eventually takes them.’
White said he lived a ‘life full of love’, but said ‘sometimes the darkness is stronger, and heartbreakingly for all of us, he chose to keep what he was going through to himself.’
