David, 34, was married to the entertainer from 2019 until 2023, and paid tribute following the devastating news, stepped out in Manchester on Saturday evening.

But just weeks after coming third on the skating show in 2023, The Vivienne went through a major life change when they separated from husband David.
The pair sparked their romance in 2017 before tying the knot in 2019 in a lavish flower-filled ceremony at G-A-Y's Heaven nightclub in London - and were the first couple to tie the knot at the the venue after it was granted permission to host weddings that same year.
But after nearly six years together, the pair went their separate ways in 2023 as they said 'life got in the way' of their relationship.
Following the tragic news of The Vivienne's death David shared a photo of the former couple together on Instagram and wrote: 'My heart literally sank when I got the call! My heart is shattered! Never in a million years did I think I’d ever be writing anything like this about'.
'This man changed my life so much from the day we first met in August 2017 in Gran Canaria!!'.
'We literally clicked straight away and we knew we was going to be together for along time!! He made me feel love and shown me what it was really like to love someone.
'We literally went through and did so much together it was like a whirlwind and I wouldn’t have changed the time we spent together for anything In The world!!!
'I feel like a tit feeling this upset and hurt because we have been fully divorced for just over a year now but we was together 6 year and we loved each other so much and you can’t take away.
