Gogglebox stars and celebrities left in tears after watching the heartbreaking story of a dad who died from cancer just moments after the birth of his newborn son.
Jack Whitehall, YungBlud and Nick Grimshaw were left heartbroken after watching the clip on last night’s special Stand Up To Cancer edition of the hit show.
The episode was full of emotions, and viewers saw a series of upsetting clips, but one clip has made everyone cry.
That was the story of Brett, who battled a brain tumor before being diagnosed with a more aggressive one.
Brett’s wife Nicole shared their story. She said: “We sat down with his neurologist and they went through the extremes of what the surgery could lead to.”
The mom-of-three said, specialists told the couple that they could do a surgery to remove Brett’s tumor but he might die.
Nicole continued: “We almost started to panic and they took as much of the tumor away as they could.
“When the tumor grew back it was more aggressive. It couldn’t be operated on.”
The couple then got the news that they were expecting another child together, daughter Arya.
The story took a saddest turn when Nicole went into labor in Luton, and husband Brett had a seizure in Milton Keynes.
After giving birth, Nicole took Arya and rushed to the hospital to meet him.
Looking back at that moment, she said: “When we arrived there, I took her over to him and laid her on him and described what she looked like. So we had a couple of hours.
“I said to him, ‘It’s OK, don’t hurt yourself anymore.'”
Arya was born at 5.07 am, while her dad passed away at 8.25 am.
The heartbreaking story left viewers shocked and guests alike.
One person writes on Twitter: “Cancer is one of the most disgusting, heartbreaking illnesses imaginable. Watching this #Gogglebox puts things into perspective.”
Another added: “LOVED #Gogglebox last night but WOW did I break down at that young family’s story!
“As emotional & heartbreaking as it is to watch when it finishes & it’s over for you, it’s not for them, it’s their life & they’re still living through the pain! 1 in 2 of us! NOT OKAY!”
