His daughter Ebonnie, 21, said: 'We are all broken beyond words.' 

'He was really healthy, he would go to the gym all the time', she added. 

Speaking to The Mirror, she added: 'We'd never have thought something like this could have affected him so severely.' 

The carpenter and window fitter, who had no underlying health conditions, has suffered several complications including a collapsed lung, pneumonia, sepsis and a chest infection. 

James suffered a stroke on 29 October and his wife Becky, 40, has said his health is continuing to 'decline' but doctors are still fighting to keep him alive.

His comments came as President Joe Biden was slammed for still allowing flights from South Africa to land in the US before the start of a travel ban on Monday.
