Former Casualty<\/a> star Sunetra Sarker has opened up about the death of her ex-husband, who passed away aged 53. Sunetra was married to Nick Corfield from 2003 to 2013 and they welcomed a son named Noah, born in 2001. Sunetra, 53, revealed Nick died two years ago, though his death had remained private until now. She did not share the cause of Nick’s death.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Gabby Logan’s The Mid Point podcast, the Loose Women star<\/a> said: “We had really sad news two years ago of Noah\u2019s dad passing away, which was a really big, massive bombshell in our lives. He was very young. I don\u2019t even think I\u2019ve still processed Nick\u2019s passing but we then focused a lot on Noah.” Sunetra admitted she has spent the last two years helping Noah, a university student, navigate life without his dad.<\/p>\n

She also explained how her husband, Scott Carey, who she married in 2018, has helped Noah with his grief.<\/p>\n

“We focused a lot on Noah having this new dynamic because he gets on amazingly with Scott and always has,” the Brookside star said. “But he is his stepdad and he\u2019s always seen him as that. Now, all of a sudden, there was this big gap where there was no dad role for Noah anymore.”<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s made our home very much a memory to all the things that Nick may have done and made sure we\u2019ve got pictures. He\u2019s just been really mindful \u2013 he plays darts with him all the time.<\/p>\n

“He just does a lot of things that don\u2019t even come past my mind because I\u2019m focusing maybe more on the emotional stuff.”<\/p>\n

Sunetra frequently talks about Nick to help Noah remember him, while acknowledging that doing so also comforts her.<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s worried about forgetting his dad and so I keep him very present. I talk as if he\u2019s still here,” she told the presenter.<\/p>\n

“I say, ‘Well, me and dad will be really\u2026 well, what me and dad would want is this.’ I think I\u2019m doing it to try and pretend to myself he\u2019s also still here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Casualty star Sunetra Sarker has opened up about the death of her ex-husband, who passed away aged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[243,140296,96,59,226405,226407,226404,226406,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-677786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-bbc","tag-casualty","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-nick-corfield","tag-nick-corfield-sunetra-sarker","tag-sunetra-sarker","tag-sunetra-sarker-husband","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
