Actress Tina Malone shared the heartbreaking news that her husband, Paul Chase, passed away at the age of 42 on Wednesday (March 13).

The pair tied the knot on Celebrity Four Weddings in 2010 after meeting at a fitness bootcamp. In 2013, Tina, then aged 50, gave birth to their daughter Flame.

The TV star from Liverpool also has another daughter named Danielle who is now 39, but whom she was forced to give up for adoption when she was just 18.

Tina gave birth to Flame on December 15, 2013, three weeks early from her planned section and five weeks earlier than her actual due date, after she developed pre-eclampsia, a condition which causes the blood pressure to soar and can put mum and baby at risk. "I'd gone to see my GP on Friday the 13th as I'd been having headaches and heartburn for a couple of days before, and then I started getting blurred vision.", she told the Liverpool Echo. "I was on the way to John Lewis to buy baby clothes but he said ' no you're not, you're going to the Women's now'." "I was kept in overnight but on Saturday evening at 10pm I was sitting on the bed with my coat on and a KFC getting ready to go home when the consultant came and said they were going to take her out of me the next day, as a precaution." My first reaction was that I was going to miss the X Factor final.
