Lorna Luxe has announced that her husband John Andrews has died at the age of 64.
He had been living with terminal illness after being diagnosed with stage four adrenal cancer in April 2023.
Influencer Lorna, 43, was married to Andrews for 16 years, often documenting their 21-year age gap relationship online.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday night, she posted a statement to her Stories, which read: ‘My beautiful, brave John died yesterday. I am heartbroken.
‘We were together to the very end, at home, in our own bed and holding hands which is exactly what he wanted.
‘The last conversation we had I asked him how he was feeling and he replied “rough but in love” and that was so him, to the point and choosing to put aside his fears to make me feel cherished and loved.’
Sharing her thanks for the support she and her husband had recieved, Lorna continued: ‘John and I were so grateful to the district nurses who came daily to support us and make him comfortable.
‘Anna was his favourite nurse and the kindness she showed him was beyond, she was a real life angel.
‘We couldn’t have had those last few days together at home without that care and my mum who has been with us keeping me strong when I needed to stay strong for John.
‘John you are a class act and I will love you forever.’
Last week, Lorna had shared that Andrews had beome ‘extremely unwell’, forcing her to cancel a charity event in Manchester as could ‘no longer be away from her husband’s side’.
She shared that the decision had been made with ‘a very heavy heart,’ explaining that his condition meant the timing was no longer right – and thanking her online community for their vital support during an incredibly difficult period.
While he briefly went into remission in November that year, Lorna had revealed last month that the cancer had since returned, spread, and that further treatment was no longer an option.
