Gogglebox star’s heart-breaking loss
Angie Kent is in mourning after her close friend Tommy passed away at the age of 42.
The former Gogglebox star, 33, posted a series of photos of her late friend, explaining that she had taken a step back from social media after hearing about his death.
“Goodbye for now, not forever my prince. I forgot to add Tommy with the main loves of his life,” she wrote, alongside a photo of Tommy with her dogs.
“All our rescue dogs over the years. I could not have met a person who loved dogs more than this man.”
“I've been quiet on here since I found out the news of the passing of one of my best friends.”
Angie continued, “Shock, mourning, grieving and feeling all the feels! I think it's important to take time and stay present.”
Tommy and Angie lived together in Sydney for three years, with fellow Gogglebox star Yvie Jones.
Tom had Down Syndrome and diabetes that required full-time care, which is where Angie previously stepped in.
“I'm there to help him with his diabetes to get him up in the morning and to help him have a healthy routine,” Angie told The Project in 2019.
The TV star said it was always a pleasure living with Tommy, as he always made her laugh and was the perfect housemate.
Tommy’s mother Rachel praised Angie, who also appeared on The Bachelorette in 2019, who helped to make her son’s life easier and enabled him to live outside a dedicated group care home.
“She's not just The Bachelorette, she's a very caring responsible young woman, she's very skilled at being a supportive person and a good friend,” she said.
