Earlier this week Tyrone was given the news that his abusive ex-fiancée had died of an aneurysm.
Despite all the heartache and pain she caused him, the news hit the mechanic hard and he found it explain it all to his nine-year-old daughter.
Tyrone told Ruby: "You know that we've spoke about mummy being your forever mummy, right? But there was another lady who grew you in her belly?
"Well last night we found out that she died. It's sad. It's okay for you to be sad, or not and it's okay to feeling anything or nothing... does that make sense?"
