Jason Manford’s life from famous brothers to why first marriage ‘disintegrated’<\/a><\/p>\nThe singer previously explained that Dave wasn\u2019t just the person who kept her safe; he was the steady voice she leaned on when fame became too heavy. Many times, he was the one she called just to clear her mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was the one I\u2019d phone and be like, \u2018Bro, I need to go for a walk, this is too much for me,\u2019\u201d she said. Losing him, she shared, still affects her deeply today.<\/p>\n
Holding back her emotions as she spoke to This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about the song, she revealed: ‘He was my security for many, many years.<\/p>\n
‘Anyone that has had a close relationship to anyone where it’s one on one, especially when I got famous, he was the one I would phone and say, “I need to go for a walk, this is too much for me”, and he was there for me so much.<\/p>\n
‘He decided he didn’t want to be here seven years ago, and five years ago I wrote this song – I wasn’t going to put it on the album but when I played it to my new team they were like, “You have to, it’s going to help so many people”.<\/p>\n
‘It’s not easy to sing but seeing how people have reacted to it in the last few weeks has been incredible. He was like my big brother.’<\/p>\n
