X-FACTOR star Jaymi Hensley has broken his silence after his fiance Olly Marmon fell to his death from a hotel window just weeks before their wedding.
Union J singer Jaymi, 34, was arrested on suspicion of murder after Olly, 33, plunged more than 30ft from their second floor suite on Sunday night.

But no further action was taken against the heartbroken singer as police passed the case to the coroner.
Now Jaymi has thanked his fans for all the “love, messages and prayers” sent to him after his fiance’s death.
A statement seen by MailOnline read: “Jaymi Hensley would like to thank all the love, messages and prayers sent to him over the loss of his beautiful fiancé Oliver Marmon.
“At this time the family would like the media to respect the privacy of Jaymi and Oliver’s family while they mourn the loss of Oliver.”
Officers appealed for any footage after Olly fell through a small open second floor window onto a footpath in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
Guests at the Hind Hotel rushed outside to try to save Olly but the stylist was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Jaymi had a UK top ten album after coming fourth on X Factor in 2014 and was watched by 10 million viewers on the hit ITV show.
He was being comforted over the loss of the man he described as “my strength and stay all these years”.
A source close to the pop star’s family said the tragedy was “unbelievable”.
Olly’s death is said to have come as the pair were reunited after a period apart – in preparation for their wedding next month.

A source said: “The whole thing is just devastating. It’s a terrible tragedy.
“The police and ambulance crews were there in minutes, but it was just too late.”
Detectives confirmed they were no longer treating the case as murder following the results of a forensic post-mortem confirming the death was caused by fall injuries.
It meant Jaymi Hensley was released without charge.
DCI Johnny Campbell said: “It is only right that an incident such as this is treated with the utmost seriousness, to make sure we have done all we can to understand what has happened, and to get the answers those left behind need and want.
“In Olly’s case I can confirm the evidence we have examined did not support his death as a homicide, which has now been further confirmed by the results of the preliminary forensic post-mortem report.
“Our initial findings and decision have been explained to Olly’s family who will continued to be supported by Northamptonshire Police as they mourn the loss of their loved one.
“A 34-year-old man arrested in connection with this incident has been released without charge and is now assisting the investigation team with the coroner’s process.”
Olly’s family paid tribute to the 33-year-old as a “spiritual, gentle soul” who was “beautiful both inside and out”.
