Simon Thomas has removed his wedding ring five months after the tragic death of his wife.
The Sky Sports anchor and former Blue Peter presenter shared an emotional post to Instagram in which he revealed the wedding band has now come off.
His post came the day after Simon confirmed he’s leaving Sky Sports at the end of the football season in May in order to focus on the couple’s eight-year-old son Ethan.
Simon shared a photo to Instagram showing his bare hand in front of a box which contains three rings.
He explained to fans: “With it being five months now and the symbolism of what happened yesterday it feels the right time to do this – something I never expected or wanted to ever do.

“Her rings will now wait for the day Ethan hopefully gets to enjoy his day and if they’re half the person his mother was he’ll have done just right.
“Mine will forever remain the physical symbol of what I had and lost.”
