‘There are so many things I wish I could say to you, so many moments I have wanted to share with you, so many times i’ve reached for my phone to call you, but the main thing I would want you to know, Is that I am okay.’
‘Grief is incredibly heavy but it’s the price we pay for love & I’m so grateful for all of the years we got to share together & the lifetime of love & adventure we packed in.’

‘My heart breaks for you. Sending so much love your way. He is with you every step of the way xx,’ another added.
‘He was such an inspiration and will continue to be remembered as such what a beautiful story you both had together sending so much love,’ one said.
The X Factor star was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2017, just two years after the couple first met at a dance studio.
In August that year, he was rushed to surgery and had a 7cm brain tumour surgically removed from his frontal lobe, before undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Johnny went into remission months after his initial diagnosis in 2017, but revealed in November 2020 the disease had returned.

In August 2022, he confirmed his brain cancer diagnosis was terminal and said he feared how his girlfriend Tahnee would cope once he is gone.
He sadly died on November 10, 2023 just a week shy of Tahnee’s 30th birthday.
Johnny made no secret of the tremendous support he had from Tahnee throughout his cancer journey.
He shared countless gushing posts and credited her for ‘saving’ his life in several media interviews.
Tahnee was the one who rushed Johnny to hospital in the first instance, after he suffered a series of ongoing migraines.
