‘Huw my darling I will miss you so much and am so glad I got to have you with me all my life.’

His brother Huw, who was a barrister, was the oldest of three boys from Carmarthen, South Wales.

The Welsh Opera singer also has an older brother Mark, who he previously hosted a show with called Sibling Rivalry.

Wynne’s post was flooded with condolences from his close friends and celebrity pals, with Amy Dowden writing: ‘Sending you so much love Wynne ❤️’.

Danielle Harold penned: ‘Sending you lots of love ❤️’

Opening up on his childhood previously, Wynne told The Times: ‘I was the youngest of three boys: one brother is a barrister and the other an opera singer.

‘My father, David, was a council building inspector, and my half-Belgian mother, Elizabeth, was a hairdresser before she turned campaigner to save a local theatre.

‘We lived in an end-of-terrace Victorian house with an outside loo. I didn’t go on a plane until I was 24.’
