Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford makes sad admission 

Gloria Hunniford has spoken candidly about two devastating losses. The Loose Women panellist’s husband, Stephen Way, died last summer aged 85. His death comes 20 years after the death of Gloria’s beloved daughter Caron Keating, who tragically died aged 41 after a battle with breast cancer.

The 85 year old has reflected on both devastating losses as she opened up about one day reuniting with her loved ones.

Gloria cared for husband Stephen Way, who she married in 1998, during his “heroic fight” against illness, but he died last August.

The ITV regular, who resides in the couple’s home where they lived for 40 years, addressed whether she could still feel Stephen’s presence. She paused before making a sad admission.

“I believe I will see Caron again and I believe I will see Stevie again,” she says. “It’s not that I go to church every Sunday, but I have a very strong faith, and in life, you either believe there is somewhere you go after you die, or there isn’t. I choose to think there is.”

She added to OK! magazine: “When Stephen was ill and he passed, you sort of think, ‘Well, what is the alternative?’

We have to get on with life for the family, the children, your grandchildren, your friends who need you.”

Last year, Gloria opened up about her husband’s health battles, revealing that he had become partially blind in his right eye after a second stroke. She applauded the NHS for saving his life back in 2020

The couple previously faced another scare in 2019 when he was in a taxing taxi accident, fracturing the base of his spine, and Stephen has also endured a heart attack in 2004 and an initial stroke in 2012.

In 1997, Gloria suffered a devastating loss as her former spouse and father to her children, Don Keating, died. The couple shared three kids, Caron, Paul and Michael.

Heartbreakingly, seven years later, Gloria lost their daughter Caron to breast cancer. The former Blue Peter presenter was just 41 when she died in 2004, leaving behind two young sons.
