Barry McGuigan on losing four loved ones including 33-year-old daughter: ‘A catalogue of disasters’

Barry and Sandra McGuigan appeared on Loose Women on Valentine's Day and spoke openly about the death of their daughter Danika in 2019.

Barry was thrust in front of a national audience last year when he competed on I’m A Celebrity… along with, among others, his compatriot Maura Higgins. Panelists Kaye Adams, GK Barry, Katie Piper and Nadia Sawalha asked the couple about their late daughter Danika, who died in 2019 at the age of 33. Barry – on The Weakest Link this weekend (February 22) – then went on to describe the string of tragedies that has befallen them as a couple as a “catalogue of disasters”.
