Mum of killed footballer Jordan Sinnott: 'Losing him is worse than my terminal cancer'
The devoted mother of footballer Jordan Sinnott, who was tragically killed in 2020, has revealed she has terminal cancer. Last December, Melanie Tait, who is only 54, was told she had “days, maybe a week” to live by a medic. In her darkest moment, the ex-detective silently spoke to her late son: "Jord, help me have more time, I need to get your brother Tom in a better place.” Miraculously, Melanie rallied from her near-death experience and today explains that even after his death, Jordan is always near her – sending her a message, urging her to go to hospital when she first noticed something was wrong.
