He said at the time: "You know somebody who works very close to the Toy Show died yesterday.
"And she was a colleague of ours who got sick very quickly.
"And I won't go into the details until everyone is okay with that, but she was very young also, just like Vicky.
"And the point I'm making is that I am thinking of her family today, because there are people who are well known, and people who are not well known, but no less loved, and the story is one that touches families around the country.
