Following the tragedy, Urquhart farewelled Hannah in a heartbreaking Facebook post.

“Today we said goodbye to my darling Glen.
The saddest day of my life, broken beyond words and not sure how to do this alone.
He touched so many lives in the most incredible way and now lives on in our beautiful girls.
Thank you for all the love and support from our dearest friends and family”

Hannah committed suicide. Felicity Urquhart has taken some time off air to grieve and has also spoken out as a suicide prevention ambassador.
