Celebrity Gogglebox's Stephan Mangan opens up about tragic family loss

Anita and Stephen clearly get on well and have an extremely close bond, but the siblings have been through tragic loss and family, with the Mangans losing both their parents at young ages.Stephen Mangan attends the Nominees' Party for the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O CruisesStephen and his sisters, Lisa and Anita, suffered tragedy when their mother died of colon cancer six months after a diagnosis. At the time, the actor was just 22 years old.

"Now you could stand at the side and go, 'Oh you find it funny that your mum's dying? You find it funny that your dad's dying?' No. But as a human being, that ability to find humour in the darkest moments can save you. In the bleakest, darkest moments, comedy can throw a light."He added: "I think the Brits, especially, understand dark humour and understand that it's got its place.

"What was so hard about seeing Paul get ill," he said, "was that it was so much like when my father got ill."Stephen Mangan attends the press night after party for "The Unfriend" at Luci on January 9, 2024 in London, EnglandAway from his career, Stephen is a proud husband to Louise Delamere and their three children:In a hilariously self-deprecating column in the Times recently, Stephen revealed what his three sons think of their father being famous.

"He will already have been downstairs for two hours watching old episodes of American sitcoms, but definitely not anything I’ve been in. No one in this house is remotely interested in anything I’ve done. Even my wife." He later added: "I'm savouring the fact that my youngest still wants to hold my hand on the walk to school — that little hot hand fills me with joy. Because I do such a range of things, I think my sons are confused about what I do for a living. But then, so am I.
