Sherrie, 69, was left heartbroken after her brother, Brett Hutchinson, 71, died after suffering from "pneumonia" during his cancer battle.

But now she's convinced that coronavirus played a part in his sudden downturn after he was diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma – the most common and aggressive brain tumour in adults.

"I’ll always believe that Covid had something to do with his, they call it pneumonia but I don’t believe that," she said.

"Controversially I believe that that’s what it was called but no one, you can’t prove things, the sadness and the pain was too big to carry on and create a fuss."

Sherrie explained that her family wanted Brett "to go in the right way" and they all attended the funeral.

She added: "So it’s been horrendous but this is a year I will never, never forget."
