Writing on Instagram she said: “I am desperately sorry to post that we lost my wonderful husband, Julian Spear, today, 9th December.
“Perfectly fit man but jumped into a freezing outdoor pool which he assumed was heated as per usual yesterday, and he developed a sudden massive brain haemorrhage – our hearts are aching.”
She added: “Married 47 years – known each other 56. Forgive me if I am not on Facebook very much for a while.”
