Robin Shares The Devastating News That Her Husband, "Absolute Soulmate" Sean Pickwell, Has Passed Away

Robin Bailey has shared the heartbreaking news that her husband, Sean Pickwell, passed away early this morning.

Sean, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer just over a year ago, died surrounded by the ones he loved the most, Robin said in a Facebook post today.

"What can I say... my big beautiful panda has gone," Robin wrote. "He died as he lived... at home with us holding him... early this morning.

"In this moment there are no words or feelings that can truly express the love and gratitude I have for my husband Sean Pickwell.

"He came into our lives and healed us. He loved me so hard and taught me so much and now whatever life throws at us we will be stronger, wiser and more fierce because of him.

"He was my absolute soul mate, the true love of my life and whatever I do from now on he will be in my heart and in my corner cheering me on."

Robin also urged anybody who had been touched by Sean's journey to do two things.

"Give blood," she continued. "It's life saving for so many people and it's easy and pain free and can do so much for so many. His legacy is Sean Pickwell Red25 at any blood bank in Australia.

"Plus donate or support Karuna. This most amazing non-profit organisation gave us the support and means to grant his final wishes to die at home surrounded in love with the people he loved."

Sean had joined Robin for her final show with The Big Breakfast last Friday, where he spoke about his "amazing" wife.

"She's just been the most amazing person since we met a few years ago, and re-met a few years ago," he said.

Our deepest condolences to Robin and Sean's families. Vale.
