TV personality Kay McGrath is devastated after her fiancé and ‘soulmate’ died suddenly during a trip to India.

Ms McGrath, 68, was leading a tour through India when her fiancé, Richard Moore, died of a heart attack. 

‘I have some devastating news to share with you dear friends. My darling fiance and soulmate Richard has passed away after suffering a sudden and totally unexpected heart attack in Agra, India,’ she wrote on Instagram. 

‘Local doctors did all they could to save him.

‘The day before we’d shared such a special time at the Taj Mahal – designed to be ‘heaven on earth’ which gives me some comfort. 

‘I’ll always treasure that and all the wonderful memories we created together over many years.’

Ms McGrath added that Richard was ‘so loved and valued by family and friends’. 

‘He leaves a huge hole in our hearts. A kind, smart, generous, wickedly funny and genuinely good man – we all miss you so much darling.’
