Last year Sara was left devastated by the death of her brother.
The 56-year-old dad fell victim to a heart condition just before Christmas 2019.
A funeral announcement in the Bolton News newspaper read: “Beloved partner to Linda, a loving son, father, brother, uncle and dear friend to many. Sadly missed.”
David was still living in Sara’s hometown of Little Lever, near Bolton, where he grew up with the star and siblings Dot and Robert.
The family went on to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in honour of David.
A statement on the JustGiving site read: “David passed away suddenly on December 6 due to an unknown underlying heart condition.

“We are therefore raising money in David’s memory and donating it to this worthy cause.”
A source said: “He died so suddenly, Sara is absolutely heartbroken. The whole family has been really shaken by the death.”
