Tina revealed his death at the time on social media and confessed she was “devastated” by his passing.

Paul left behind his daughter with Tina, Flame, with the actress now making a heart-wrenching admission about how the youngster is coping with the loss of her father.

Tina admitted that Flame has been unable to open any birthday or Christmas presents as she just “wants her daddy”.

Responding to a follower on X – formerly Twitter – who reached out to Tina regarding the death of their own child, Tina wrote back: “I’m so sorry for your loss,my flame was 11 on the 15th Dec.

“I have many presents she hasn’t opened yet as she just wants her daddy!

“It’s 42 weeks I cry every single day xxx.”

Tina and Paul got married in 2010 after dating for two years.

When Flame was born, Tina was 50 years old.

Speaking in 2023 prior to the death of her husband, the actress told Closer: “Paul and I still have so much passion, after 13 years you know each other so well.

“He still gives me butterflies!”

Tina, who played Mimi Maguire in Shameless, also announced in 2020 their relationship was back on track after a brief time apart and revealed the “love never went away”.

She said: “The love never went away, we’re working on things now, our problems were compounded by depression but I learned that in tough times you have to pull together and not apart.”
