Barry McGuigan was comforted by campmates as he recalled the devastating death of his daughter Nika
Boxer Barry McGuigan showed his emotional side on I'm A Celebrity on Monday night as he opened up about the loss of his daughter.
"Nika was an extremely talented and inspirational young lady who radiated kindness and love. Our hearts are broken and we know that life will never be the same again for us. Discussing his loss, the boxer explained: "She had leukaemia, when I was making The Boxer with Daniel Day Lewis, three weeks from the end I had to leave because she'd been diagnosed with leukaemia, they thought she wasn't going to get better but she fought back and she won it. She had two years of chemo."
His story touched Coleen Rooney who shared her own story about loss with Dean and Oti Mabuse. Recalling her about the loss of her sister, Rosie McLoughlin , who died in 2013 aged 14, Coleen recalled: "Even when Rosie died, I kept it together for me mum and dad."
