Cat Deeley was left struggling to speak during the latest edition of This Morning as they spoke about the recent death of rugby hero Rob Burrow. Leeds Rhinos, the former club of the ex-rugby league star, announced his death, at the age of 41, on Sunday , following a lengthy battle with motor neurone disease.
Leeds Rhinos said Burrow said he "passed away peacefully" at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, near his home, surrounded by his family, after becoming ill earlier this week. On behalf of the Burrow family, the rugby league club thanked the hospital’s staff for "their compassion and caring for Rob in his final days".
Cat told This Morning viewers: "Just a quick word about our phone in. Yesterday, we spoke about the devestating news that former English rugby league player Rob Burrow passed away peacefully over the weekend aged 41 with a battle with motor neurone disease." Ben then said: "Last night his family released a very touching message from Rob, recorded before he passed away, let's take a look.
"I am just a lad from Yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing rugby league. As a father of three young children I would never want any family to have to go through what my family have since my diagnosis. I hope I have left a mark on the disease. I hope it shows to live in the moment. I hope you find inspiration from the whole story.
