Ellie Jeffery Passes Away Before Wedding

TV journalist Ellie Jeffery has died 20 days before her wedding.

Ellie, 29, had planned to wed TV producer fiancé Tom Thostrup, 35, next month but sadly passed away from breast cancer last week.

The reporter, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, had worked at Sky News and ITV.


On her blog Tom said: “Sadly it’s not Ellie writing this but Tom. Ellie passed away in the early hours.

“Everything happened so much more quickly than we had anticipated.”

He said the pair had not wanted to wed in hospital, adding: “We desperately wanted to marry but we didn’t need any old ceremony to validate our love. Our lives were utterly entwined.”
