‘I’m in so much shock… My brother’s battle with cancer was sudden and quick, he was at work living his life one week and then in hospital the next, but he was brave and fought hard, his last words to me were ‘I’m fighting this! I’ll be okay! I love you sis..”‘ 

In her post London then shared how she hosted a private Christmas meal in December for her family and asked them all to give a speech. 

She explained: ‘My brother Alex is usually a man of few words but the words he spoke that night now mean more to me than I can ever convey in an Instagram post…. I had no idea that that night, I was filming my brother’s last ever speech to me.

‘My brother was a security guard, he’s worked for celebrities and even did the Royal wedding… I always joked that when I got mega famous in America I’d fly him out so he could be my security one day and it physically pains me that I never got the chance to make that happen.’

London continued: ‘But the truth is, my brother has been my security guard my whole life. He’s been my biggest supporter, biggest cheerleader, he’s always had my back, he’d do anything for me, he’s the kindest, sweetest, most humble guy I’ve ever known. Not a single mean bone in his 6ft4 body.

‘He was gentle, loyal, kind and had the most perfect laugh… He always worked hard and was a loving and devoted father to my niece and nephews. He loved us all so much, he’d do anything for his family. 

‘The world is truly at a loss without him in it. I urge you all to hug your family members тιԍнт tonight in memory of my brother Alex, because life can be so unusually cruel and you never know when a hug may be your last.
