The TV and radio presenter took to her Instagram Stories to share a photograph of a burning candle in tribute to her son, as she wrote: “Our beautiful boy would have been 14 today.” 

Last year Amanda marked the day as she told followers how her son would have been turning into a teenager.

Amanda pays tribute to her son in various ways on the date each year alongside husband Chris.

The pair welcomed their first child Alexa, 18, into the world in 2006, followed by Hollie, 12, in 2012.

Amanda has previously recalled the heartbreaking last moments with her son.

She recalled: “He looked so normal and so peaceful. I held him in my arms and I said goodbye, basically.

“But I couldn’t have done it without the incredible team around us. My husband was so strong and so amazing but they got him through it too.

“And then the days and months afterwards, the same team of people checked on us every single day and it’s not because I’m off the telly or famous or anything like that.

“I believe they’d have extended that care to any woman, any family, in my situation.”

Amanda has said that Theo will always be part of the family.

She added: “I’ll literally do anything for the National Health Service because they got me through it, they got Chris through it and I now thankfully have two healthy girls and a little boy who is still part of the family but just not here.”

She’s also spoken about the impact the loss had on her and her husband Chris, who she married in 2018.

She revealed the sad loss left the pair of them “frightened” of having another child.

She told us: “It was horrific in the months after Theo.

“My husband was frightened of having another child, he never wanted to see me go through that pain again — and himself.

“But I knew in order to carry on and live life, I had to have a baby and I was lucky enough to have the choice and be able to have another one.”

Killer farmer Tony Martin who shot burglar who broke into his property & was convicted of murder dies aged 80

THE convicted killer of a teenage intruder in his home has died at the age of 80, a family friend has said.

Tony Martin shot a 16-year-old at his Norfolk farmhouse in 1999.

The following year, Martin was jailed for the boy’s murder and for injuring another 29-year-old man, Brendan Fearon, in the same incident.

It is thought the panicked farmer shot at both burglars after they broke into his secluded property.

His defence for the shooting of Fred Barras was that he pulled the trigger as a warning.

The confrontation divided the nation with reclusive Martin protesting his innocence while others believed he lacked regret over that fateful night.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Martin claimed he had been “stitched up” by police, lawyers, prosecutors and judges at his trial.

He also revealed he hopes his name to be cleared one day.

Martin even described visiting Fred Barras’ grave, insisting that he “felt no remorse” standing over it.

Martin was released three years later when his murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter.

Living on his own near Wisbech, the semi-derelict farmhouse was in Emneth Hungate.

70s sitcom legend, 85, looks unrecognisable as he’s pictured in LA – can you guess who it is?

A 70S sitcom legend looked unrecognisable as he was pictured in LA – but can you guess who it is?

The actor is now 85 but showed he hasn’t lost his sense of humour as he was pictured wearing a ‘Make America Normal Again’ cap.

This was a cheeky nod to President Donald Trump’s slogan ‘Make America Great Again’.

Indeed, actor Mike Farrell displayed plenty of wit in his role as army doctor B.J. Hunnicutt in hit comedy series M*A*S*H.

Mike joined the iconic show during its fourth series, replacing Wayne Rogers as the squad’s doc.

M*A*S*H premiered in 1972 and aired for 11 series until it came to an end in 1983.

The finale broke records after it was watched by 105 million people worldwide.

The show also starred Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers as the main protagonists, before Wayne left in season four.

The original cast also included Loretta Swit, McClean Stevenson, Gary Burghoff, Jamie Farr and William Christopher.

M*A*S*H wasn’t Mike’s first big show though, as he had previously starred in Days of Our Lives as Scott Banning from 1968-1970.

Following the M*A*S*H finale, Mike continued to act, appearing in medical drama Providence, Desperate Housewives and The Red Road.

Mike was also a producer on the 1998 film Patch Adams, starring the late, great Robin Williams.

Away from his acting career, Mike is also an activist, particularly for animal welfare and and human rights.

He is married to second wife, actress Shelley Fabares, who he tied the knot with in 1984.

Mike has two children from his first marriage to High School teacher Judy Hayden.

Як зробити газон зеленим за допомогою газованого напою

  0 Наявність гарного лужка – безперечний плюс для заміської ділянки. Але далеко не завжди цей простір влаштовує дачника своїм зовнішнім виглядом.
