'I asked the household if they still wished to go and they did so we went as a large family, which amounted to ₤ 12,000.
'We 'd had a will prepared around 2005. It was what is called 'a mirrored will' - so that if I died everything went to him, and if he passed away everything went to me ... and if we both passed away together it got shared in between my two children and his 2 kids, including Suzanne.
'Business went to Suzanne's brother, Paul. There was a six-year age difference between us - Vinny was 62 when he passed away and I was 56.
'I do not understand why Suzanne has stated what she has actually stated on TV 13 years on. She could have objected to the will but didn't and we stayed in contact.'

She included: 'Vinny established his business before satisfying me but after about 3 years together we both ended up being directors and I offered my task up and dealt with him till he passed away.
'I desire individuals to know I had not only a funeral to pay for and debts to cover however I didn't have a task, as Vinny was the cameraman.'
