Dianne’s sad news
The update about her dad comes just days after Dianne sadly lost her grandmother.
She announced the sad news during her podcast with Chris McCausland, Winning Isn’t Everything.
“I won’t lie, I’ve had better weeks in my life,” she said.
I was able to be here for my family, which has been really lovely.
“I had my gorgeous, beautiful nan, she sadly passed away this week, which is very, very sad,” she then continued. “However, I have been looking at in a different way. I’m looking at it as, you know, I could have been in the UK, I could not have said goodbye to her, I could maybe not have been able to see her before she passed, so I’m seeing it in a very positive way. And I was able to be here for my family, which has been really lovely.”
She then added that though it’s been sad, sharing stories about her nan has made it an “uplifting” and “almost joyous” time too.
