Viewers of Saturday night’s Tommy Tiernan Show were touched when retired boxer Barry McGuigan spoke emotionally about the loss of his daughter Nika, who died in 2019 aged 33 just five weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.

“I lost my daughter two years ago, and it's been shocking. I never recovered. My life will go on, but I’ll never be the same,” he says. “Family was everything to me. She was such a good kid. She had a tough life all her life.”
