There’s a new bombshell entering the villa.

British TV presenter, Simon Thomas has revealed that he and his 12 year old son, Ethan, resorted to therapy after the tragic and death of Simon’s wife and Ethan’s mum, Gemma in 2017. Gemma, who was 40 when she passed away, went to her local GP multiple times, complaining of night sweats, bruising and fatigue, but she was waved away a number of times, with doctors putting her symptoms down to stress.

The Sun.He pointed out that the disease robs 15,000 people of their lives each year - and yet it is far less publicised than many other forms of cancer.The symptoms, which were tragically missed in his wife, can include an unexplained rash, bruise or spate of bleeding.Sufferers can also feel exhausted and breathless and experience drenching night sweats and pains in their bones.Other signs to look out for include a sudden paleness of skin, swellings or lumps, itchy skin and unexplained weight loss.After the sudden onset of severe symptoms for his wife, and then her subsequent death, Simon had required two years of bereavement counselling to help him get through.His son, Ethan, also had a counsellor, who doubles as an actor and recently appeared in an advert the pair had seen."We’d seen him in a McDonald’s advert, but the other week I was watching the John Darwin Canoe Man drama and he was in that [too]," Simon recalled.Once they had processed their grief and completed their two years of counselling, Simon then began his own journey towards helping others who'd experienced the same issues.Ethan has assisted in raising funds for Grief Encounter - the same charity that had helped them.Meanwhile, Simon shared news of some of the "heartbreaking" stories he has heard from other families."Inevitably when you go through what we have in public, people in a similar position message you and ask for your help or want to share their story," he told the same publication."I think when you are in the public eye and open up about grief – or something that people find difficult to vocalise – people find a lot of solace in that."Simon also lost his father during the Covid-19 pandemic.However, he is slowly working towards finding happiness
