Beverley Knight added: “My god no. I am so, so sorry. Vicky was a gem. Sending love and healing.”
This comes after comedian Bobby opened up about the "absolute agony" of watching Vicky battle the disease.
“To see someone as beautiful as her with this illness is horrific. It’s so sad,” he told the Daily Star on Saturday.
“It’s extremely, extremely, extremely painful…”
The former EastEnders actor went on to say ‘laughter is the best medicine’, adding: “I always remember this quote, ‘Don’t let the world change your smile – get your smile to change the world’.”
“I don’t want the fact I’m keeping working to sound selfish. Everyone who knows me knows it’s just a distraction for a bit of time from trying to help Vicky.
“I need to see people laughing, and I like that I can still make people laugh while dealing with this.”
Bobby asked Vicky to marry him in 2022 after 12 years together. It was reported that the couple celebrated their happy news with friends and family at The Kings Arms in Surrey.
