Former CBBC star Chelsie Whibley has died at the age of 29 after a long battle with cystic fibrosis
Glyn Whibley, 33, posted a statement on social media saying his wife had taken a "rapid turn for the worse" and passed away at a Southampton hospital."I know you will all want to send your condolences but we ask to please limit it to comments below in this very distressing time."
He later posted a heartfelt tribute to his wife, whom he married in 2014, saying he "cannot put into words the heartbreak I am now feeling". "Waking up without you by my side just feels so wrong and I'm waiting to realise that this is all just a terrible dream… but sadly I know it is not," he wrote on Facebook.
"From the first time we met I knew that this day would come but I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with… and it has been an incredible life… one that I would not change for anything in the world." He said his wife - who defied expectations after being told she would not live past the age of 16 - was an "inspiration to me and so many others, with such vigour and determination to prove the doctors wrong and keep living on".
