Vinnie Jones has revealed he always carries the love letter his late wife Tanya left to comfort him after her death.

The hardman footballer-turned-actor said he was in pieces after finding the card, which is emblazoned with the words "Always Believe Something Wonderful is Going to Happen."

Tanya, who died of cancer aged 53 in July, wrote him the note and left it inside her diary for him to find to give him strength in the days after she passed away.

“Inside she had written: ‘To my love Vin, something wonderful happens to me every day. It’s being with you. You are my morning sunshine the moment I wake. All my love, Tanya.’

"I broke down when I read it because I loved her like that too.”

Vinnie added that he is counting the days until he is reunited with his wife and says he has bought the cemetery plot next to hers so their ashes can be buried together.
