Jeremy McConnell has been left heartbroken, as his father has sadly passed away after a short battle with throat cancer.
The 27-year-old’s father, who was in his 50s, died on Friday – just two months after Jeremy became a father for the first time.
A representative for Jeremy told The Sun, “On Friday 3rd March 2017 Jeremy McConnell’s father passed away after a short battle with cancer.
“We ask that Jeremy is given space and privacy at this incredibly sad time.”

The news comes shortly after Jeremy finally met his son Caben-Albi, who was born on January 13.
Jeremy previously revealed that his mother, brother and sister died within months of each other when he was just a teenager.
“When I was 15 I was at my cousin’s and my mum fell asleep. I got back about two hours later and she was gone – she had a brain haemorrhage.
“Shortly after that my brother broke his neck in a motorbike accident. After that, my sister had a heart attack – she suffered with epilepsy. All in the space of 15 months.
“Of course I miss them, I loved them dearly, but I think that’s what levelled me out a bit – I express myself the way I want to. I just grew up really fast,” he said.
Just today, Jeremy shared the first picture of him cuddling his baby boy Caben, who was welcomed into the world by his on-off girlfriend Stephanie Davis.
