Elliott’s anguish has been amplified thanks to two recent tragedies.

In March, his 66-year-old father, Edward, died after an eight-week battle with Covid-19.

Elliott shared the news on Instagram and wrote: “It is with heart wrenching regret, that I have to post this post.

“My father Edward George Wright passed away peacefully with his family by his side on the 02.03.2021 after bravely fighting Covid for 8 weeks…

“For those who knew my father, you know what a great man he was, always smiling, always humble, always happy, despite the fact in his later years he bravely fought prostate cancer.

“To Dad, what can I say that you don’t already know in heaven, you are and will always be my rock, my best friend, the man who taught me to always be a gentleman, to put family first!”
