The One Show and Boyzone star Ronan Keating has revealed the heartbreaking 'reason' behind the death of his mum who passed away from breast cancer over 20 years ago

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain Ronan spoke about his summer performance at Kew Gardens before moving on to his experience with cancer in his family after losing his mum to the disease.

Ciaran, who was in his 50s, was sadly killed in a horror car crash when he and his wife Ann Marie had been travelling to watch their son, Ruairi, play for Cork City FC.
