Strictly Come Dancing star Ore Oduba has bravely spoken about losing his sibling to suicide.

The TV presenter, who won the BBC dance show in 2016 with Joanne Clifton, was rocked by the devastating news of Lola’s death in April.

Ore, who admits it’s been ‘a really difficult year’ for his family, has now shifted his outlook on life, with the terrible tragedy reminding him that ‘we don’t know when our last day is’.

Appearing on the John Reynolds’ Extraordinary Life Stories podcast, the former CBBC presenter began: ‘I guess we have been through a really difficult year as a family, and I was very ready for that to kick off a new chapter in my life, and it did.

‘I’m grateful to him (Dad) for everything he gave us. I wasn’t prepared to lose my sister.’
