Leon was such a large figure… I can hear him saying things like, 'Why have you got this nonsense on?' when I’m listening to Classic FM.

Meanwhile, the former Gogglebox castmate has now written a book which tells the romantic tale of their lives together, spanning over six decades. Speaking on BBC Breakfast, June divulged the reasoning behind the book and revealed it was one of Leon’s dreams. She said: “He always used to say ‘I’m going to write our love story one day’, you know as if there was anything special about it so to speak.

She said: “It was amazing how it made me think backwards to times when we met and our life together instead of dwelling on the sadness that I was on my own again.” Paying tribute to Leon’s approach to life, June added: "Leon had no filter.
