In this deeply emotional episode, Dean Simpson-Humphreys shares his extraordinary true story of love, tragedy, and resilience.

After a breakup, Dean took a solo trip to Ibiza where he met Gary — a chance encounter that blossomed into a beautiful romance. What started as a holiday fling soon turned into fate when they discovered they’d be living just streets apart back home. They fell in love, moved in together, and married — but their fairytale life took a devastating turn.

Their home was destroyed in an arson attack, they were burgled while sleeping, and Gary courageously fought off an intruder — naked. Soon after, Gary’s health began to decline, and doctors discovered a spinal tumour that left him paralysed. Despite the countless challenges — from rebuilding their home to navigating life in a wheelchair without government support — Dean never stopped caring for the man he loved.

When Gary passed away, Dean was left to face unimaginable grief, mental health struggles, and the painful reality of life after loss. In this interview, Dean opens up about:

• Meeting his soulmate in Ibiza 💕

• Surviving an arson attack & burglary 🔥

• Caring for a paralysed partner 🦽

• Facing mental health battles & suicidal thoughts 💭

• Learning to live again after loss 🌅

This is a powerful story of love, resilience, and hope — and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light can be found.
