I still can't believe this heartbreaking news. Sue was such a lovely, funny and positive person, always there for others when they needed her. I was lucky to make some unforgettable memories with her and Gawain over the years. She will be so sorely missed.

@AvgPakIdiot Not giving interviews to Match TV.
