‘He messaged me saying thank you for the best life’

Katie Martin, 25, and her fiancé Ricky McKeag, 29, both tested positive for Covid-19 three weeks ago.

Katie recovered but Ricky's condition worsened and he died in hospital.

The couple, from Lancashire, got engaged in 2017.

Speaking to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Katie said she wanted people to hear Ricky’s story to make sure they follow the government social distancing guidelines: “It’s easy to think it won’t happen to me… that’s not the case at all."
