Danny felt the need to clarify his statement after receiving numerous fan messages of support from other fans. He sent a message with the message “Hey guys!
I just feel the need to mention that my father is still with us a lot. I’ve lost my dad, which would mean that I lost the person he was to dementia.
Danny continued, “I’m sorry for anyone’s confusion and/or upset if something goes wrong. However, despite having a terrible illness, Big Vince continues to live. “Lots of love x.
Denise Welch claimed to have known Vince for a long time on Loose Women. He’s a great comic and a great friend, but I’m aware that you’ve been honest about his current dementia state.
I’m thinking of you because I know it’s difficult, Denise continued, “I just want you to give him my love and our love.” Like when you say you’re grieving someone before they actually leave.
Danny responded, “Yes, thanks for that Denise, and I’ll absolutely pass on your message]”… I’m hoping he’s watching while returning to his care facility in Manchester. I did request that the incredible care staff put it on so he could enjoy a few extra 15 minutes of fame before he’s even had one.
The actor said, “My dad is the reason I’m in this business,” in reference to Vince. I’ve lost my dad, in actuality. And I find it difficult to handle because I really, really miss him. “Danny, after clearing his throat, continued: “Please excuse me.
He continued, “I really miss picking up the phone from him.” Simply put, it is no longer possible. And there are also times when we get good and bad visits to him when we visit him in the care home.
“I feel bad that I can no longer pick up my dad’s phone. And I always want to make sure that those who are delaying dementia, whether first- or second-hand, are not at risk.
Danny said, “It’s a terrible, horrible, terminal illness, and it’s a long goodbye. A fantastic short film about that is difficult to watch, but I’m so in love with my father and am talking to you today. If you’re watching, I’d like you to love you, dad.
