Former Saturdays singer Mollie King has shared a heartfelt tribute to her late father as part of Brain Tumour Awareness Month.

The 35 year old star, who is also well known for her presenting work on BBC Radio 1, opened up about the devastating loss of her father last year, just three months after his initial diagnosis.Taking to Instagram to speak openly about her experience, Mollie shared a poignant photo of herself with her dad, Stephen, as she wrote about how much she missed her father and how grateful she was that he had been able to meet his granddaughter Annabella just days before losing his battle to the vicious disease.

Beginning her post, Mollie wrote: “This month is Brain Tumour Awareness month. I’ve always tried not to let myself think about losing someone I love, it’s too hard to think about, but last year this fear became a reality.” “In August my wonderful Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour and we had to say goodbye to him just 3 months later.

It’s still very hard to write about, I’ve been putting off writing this post because it’s easier to push it to the back of my mind and try to keep as busy as possible to cover up the heartache.” As the lengthy post then continued, Mollie spoke emotionally about how Stephen was the “best dad she could ask for” as she praised him for being “caring, funny and honest” throughout her life.
