Former Sky Sports presenter Simon Thomas has spoken out about how his friends "deserted" him after the tragic loss of his wife Gemma to leukemia in November last year. He then clarified that his friends have been an "incredible" support to him after his wife died but lost contact with some of them in the months that followed after the tragedy.
Appearing on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain' on Friday, Simon said: "It has been hard. It's been horrendous. It's been the toughest thing you can go through, especially in the early period as it felt like time was standing still. For the first six or seven weeks, my family was incredible."
