Lorna Luxe devastatingly recalled her late husband John Andrews’ ‘slow and sad death’ in a new interview on Thursday.
The influencer, 43, lost her husband in February to stage four adrenal cancer when he was aged 64, and revealed that amongst ‘the beautiful notes’ he left her to find after his passing, he also jokingly left a list of people that she’s not allowed to date.
Lorna detailed his struggle in his final days and how watching him die was ‘the hardest thing I’ve ever done.’
She said: ‘The body fights it — it’s not an easy, relaxing, passing-into-sleep thing.’
Lorna explained how his death was not how she had imagined it to be as ‘every breath became a chore’.
‘It wasn’t anything like you see in the films – I’d imagined me nattering away to him until the last minute and him squeezing my hand. But this was slow and sad,’ she said.

The fashion entrepreneur added to The Times: ‘When I started to go through John’s phone for his passwords, as he told me to, he’d left these short, sweet, beautiful notes.’
Lorna explained how he had also left a ‘funny’ list of people she wasn’t allowed to date, but wasn’t ‘naming names.’
She previously revealed she has undergone a ‘stressful’ life change after she was forced to move house once again.
The couple previously moved out of their £2.5million home in sleepy Moreton Paddox, famously referred to as Ghost House, in 2025 while extensive renovations took place.
And now Lorna has moved into a new temporary home while she awaits the renovations being complete.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Wednesday night, Lorna said John would be proud of her as she explained: ‘I’ve whacked all my stuff in storage so it’s a bit disorientating for Kev-bear.
‘We moved in with a suitcase of clothes, a corkscrew and a kettle… I hadn’t anticipated having to move out of our last place so this has all been a bit stressful but you know what, John would be so proud that I pulled it off and found me and Bear an even better gaff to ‘temporarily’ call home’.
John was originally diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2023, but after a period of remission his cancer returned the following year, spreading to his brain.

The millionaire banker was rushed back to hospital with organ failure following a complication with his chemotherapy and fell ill with sepsis shortly before Christmas.
Lorna was told to ‘prepare for the worst’, but he was home in time to spend Christmas Day with Luxe, before passing away on February 11.
Last month Lorna struggled to hold back tears while preparing to revisit the sprawling Warwickshire home she shared with her late husband weeks after his death to cancer.
Lorna was forced to go back for a progress report without John, telling followers that the prospect of returning to the three-bedroom Warwickshire home without her husband was ‘bittersweet.’
