Social media star announces own death in pre-recorded video just weeks after first child's birth
A social media star has passed away at the age of 30 - and shared news of his own passing in a heartbreaking pre-recorded video.
Tanner Martin and his devastated wife, Shay Wright, had recently welcomed their first child together - but the family have been hit with tragedy just 41 days after little AmyLou arrived.
As reported by the Mirror, Tanner has over 456,000 followers on Instagram and shared his shock news in a pre-recorded video that was shared via the platform.
The influencer had bravely battled colon cancer for over five years before his death and he and his wife have been documenting his health battle online, with fans offering support on his journey. However, addressing fans in a new post, Tanner revealed that he had passed away.
His video began: "Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you're watching this, I am dead," - before bursting into a fit of laughter, showing his upbeat personality that shone through his fight."
He continued: "I had a heck of a life. I decided to make this video announcing my death because I saw someone did that, like, a year or so ago, and I think it's a good opportunity to get all your thoughts out."
He went on to explain how his wife, Shay, would come to terms with his death just weeks after becoming a new mother.
He also shared his love for life, telling fans: "But you guys, life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here... Hopefully, I believe there's something after this. I'm excited to meet those people, and hopefully we're hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds."
He went on to share his hope of being reunited with loved ones in the afterlife. He said: "There's just a lot of people that, for the afterlife, I'm excited to see them, and excited to see them not in pain and just happy.
"I don't know. I'm like, death is scary, but it's also like a new adventure, you know," he admitted, before gushing, "I'm excited to see what the experience is like, and hopefully it's good."
He concluded the video by stating that he loved his fans and thanking them for their "support and helping to make the last years of my life here on earth like fun and enjoyable and helping me be comfortable."
Alongside the heartbreaking video, Tanner's wife penned, "May the force be with you from our angel force ghost [white love heart emoji] see the next video for his wish," in the caption.
Another video of the late influencer showed him appealing to fans to make a donation to his Last Wish Fund on GoFundMe - with proceeds helping care for his daughter after his death. The appeal has already raised over $470,000 (£342,000).

Sarah Ferguson's extravagant spending habits back in focus with new book
Sarah Ferguson's extravagant spending habits back in focus with new book The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, lived a life of "opulent excess" during her marriage to Prince Andrew, spending wildly on staff, holidays, parties and flowers, and even saw the late Queen bail her out on several occasions The book contains explosive allegations about the Duchess' financial and love life (Image: Stephane Cardinale - Corbis, Corbis via Getty Images) The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, had her debts amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds cleared by the late Queen after living a lifestyle of "opulent excess", reveals a new explosive biography. Read here about a cancer update from King Charles It's alleged that during her marriage to Prince Andrew, Fergie spent extravagantly on staff, holidays, parties and flowers, with little consideration for paying bills. Ferguson, who was married to the now-disgraced Duke of York from 1986 to 1996, received financial assistance on "several occasions", says esteemed historian Andrew Lownie. This included a payment of £500,000 in April 1994 when Coutts bank "demanded £500,000 within 14 days". Read here to see what King Charles thinks of Harry and Meghan's latest move The book claims the Duchess would demand feasts "that would make Henry VIII proud" everyday, though there were just here two daughters at the dinner table (Image: Karwai Tang, WireImagevia Getty Images) The biography, 'Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the Yorks', provides a shocking glimpse into the Duke and Duchess' "hedonistic life, controversial friendships and secretive money-making endeavours." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Lownie's work, said to be based on four years of research and numerous interviews, suggests that Ferguson's time as a Royal was characterised by "marked by ambition and financial recklessness," reports the Mirror. The Duchess is said to have splurged hundreds of thousands of pounds on Royal staff, hiring foreign villas and insisting on security for her daughters, Eugenie and Beatrice. Lownie notes: "The bubbly young redhead was initially seen as a breath of fresh air when she married him in 1986, but her exploitation of her royal status to make money has seen her join her ex-husband as a hugely diminished figure." Despite numerous unsuccessful business endeavours, frequently capitalising on her Royal status, including lending her name to a retirement home chain that collapsed, Ferguson allegedly owed more than £3.7 million by 1994. Lownie reveals "she needed bank approval to pay even modest cheques. But even then, according to a member of her staff, she always believed there would be 'a deal around the corner' that would solve all her problems". The author, who has penned several works about the royal family including Prince Philip's uncle Lord Mountbatten and King Edward VIII, who famously abdicated after less than a year in 1936, claims Fergie became notorious for accumulating enormous bills on credit at establishments like Harrods without settling them. Lownie documents: "She also found 'ways and means of getting around her financial restrictions'. For example, Mohamed Al-Fayed, owner of Harrods, never pressed her to settle her account at the store, a practice she exploited elsewhere. "A former employee confided: 'These accounts just never get paid, somehow. The shops don't complain because of who she is, or they never used to.'" One newspaper piece saw her former partner and financial adviser John Bryan disclose that Fergie's estimated £860,000 yearly spending encompassed £300,000 on staff, £150,000 on gifts, £50,000 on flowers, £50,000 on parties, £150,000 on travel and £100,000 on clothes - £25,000 of it during a single hour's shopping spree at Bloomingdales. The bombshell book makes further claims about the Duchess's financial dealings, including how friends often lent her money without ever being fully repaid. It is alleged that one individual who had loaned her £100,000 for a holiday in the South of France considered taking legal action at the High Court "after she paid back only £5,000, claiming she understood the rest to be a gift". The tome goes on to detail accusations of the Duchess's lavish expenditures, such as spending £14,000 in a single month with a London wine merchant and enjoying opulent getaways to destinations like "Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Poland and four trips to America", where she would typically stay at the plush Carlyle Hotel with rooms starting at £330 per night. Author Andrew Lownie recounts additional tales of excess, including trips to New York during which she reportedly used one car for herself "and another for her ten suitcases". The narrative also includes an anecdote about her assistant, Christine Gallagher, who was once dispatched on the Concorde at a cost of £5,000 simply to deliver some documents to the Duchess. In response to the financial controversies surrounding the Duchess post-divorce from the Duke of York, Buckingham Palace issued a statement in 1996 declaring: "The Duchess's financial affairs are no longer Her Majesty's concern but matters which the Duchess of York must discuss and resolve with her bankers and other financial advisers." However, further financial missteps were uncovered, including thousands of unpaid bills to personal shoppers, the late Queen's personal mail service, and allegations of irregularities with charity funds from The Sarah Ferguson Foundation. Post-divorce, the Duchess embarked on a series of money-making endeavours, leveraging her Royal connections. This included accepting £100,000 in 1997 from Austrian construction tycoon, Richard Lugner, to inaugurate a shopping centre in Vienna, sign books, and accompany him to the Vienna Opera Ball. That same year, she became the first Royal to endorse a product on television, promoting Ocean Spray cranberry drink for a fee of $500,000 (£376,000). With an advance on her memoirs that year, coupled with substantial income from a £500,000 deal with WeightWatchers, Fergie attempted to settle debts despite reportedly owing £1.6 million in taxes. A dismissed staff member also disclosed to Lownie the "greed and wastefulness that contributed to the duchess's financial downfall". The former courtier alleged: "Every night she demands a whole side of beef, a leg of lamb and a chicken, which are laid out on the dining room table like a medieval banquet. It's a feast that would make Henry VIII proud." The insider went on to say: "But often there is just her and her girls, Bea and Eugenie, and most of it is wasted. There is no attempt to keep it to have cold the next day. It just sits there all night, and the next day it's thrown away." A source also alleged that Fergie frequently missed non-refundable flights, racking up thousands of pounds in unnecessary expenses. The book further claims that the Duchess "thought nothing of arriving at an airport with 25 cases and paying between £800 and £4,000 in excess baggage. At least five of those cases were packed with toiletries and make-up. Another would be used solely for clothes hangers." Despite living rent-free with her ex-husband in his Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor, Lownie suggests that the Duchess's lavish lifestyle persists. In May 2009, she signed a year-long lease on a house costing £8,000 per month, but chose to stay with Andrew at the Royal Lodge instead. This resulted in £50,000 being spent on a property she never occupied. The controversial book, which Lownie maintains is the result of four years of investigation and countless interviews, alleges that Fergie actively pursued a notable array of potential romantic interests throughout the years. The author suggests that during a visit to New York, the Duchess instructed her team to establish whether John F. Kennedy Jnr - the striking son of the murdered American president John F. Kennedy - was present in the city. Upon learning of his presence, she promptly extended an invitation for cocktails or supper at her accommodation, which he reportedly accepted. When the Duchess purportedly learnt that Kennedy was romantically involved with actress Daryl Hannah, she allegedly responded: "That's not going to bother me!". According to Lownie, Hannah was indeed troubled by this development, resulting in Kennedy withdrawing his acceptance and citing a previous commitment. Lownie alleges that Fergie subsequently instructed her staff "to spy on his apartment all night to check that he had told the truth". The author also suggests the Duchess proclaimed she was "in love" with celebrated American golfer Tiger Woods. It is alleged she travelled 1,500 miles to encounter him, before revealing to broadcaster Piers Morgan: "I'm in love." Morgan reportedly enquired: "Who's the lucky guy?" prompting Fergie to respond: "He doesn't know yet." Fergie then indicated she intended to "follow him around the course for a bit and see how I get on". Morgan reportedly concluded: "Poor old Tiger isn't going to know what's hit him."

Emmerdale fans 'work out' Ray's love interest and it could spark ultimatum
Emmerdale viewers have shared the theory that new villain Ray will end up with someone in the village after a cryptic comment from actor Joe Absolom about the ITV soap role There could be romance on the way for Emmerdale baddie Ray. Amid his plans for teenagers Dylan Penders and April Windsor, fans think Ray will end up with someone in the village. The love interest could be none other than a character linked to April and others in the Dales, and it could spark an ultimatum if it was to happen. Fans can't help but question whether Ray will be caught up in a romance, taking his dealing storyline into another direction. It comes as Ray made it clear who he was targeting this week, with a drug drop planned for one terrified teen. So if the female in question dopes embark on a romance with the villain, it would definitely divide villagers. Fans think that unlucky in love Laurel Thomas will be Ray's love interest. She's not had the best of luck recently, from a near-kiss with ex Marlon Dingle, as well as her brief fling with vicar Charles Anderson, eight years on from the death of her husband Ashley Thomas. Laurel seems to be single for now, and with her offscreen a fair bit recently fans are guessing she has a storyline on the way. Amid fears about who else Ray may target, and whether Laurel's teen son Arthur Thomas will get involved, fans are speculating Laurel and Ray will end up together. Taking to social media, one fan said: "Joe [Absolom] said Ray has charm so I'm sure he's gonna end up with someone and Laurel is at the top of my list." Another fan replied: "I'm rooting for her and Ray now." So will Laurel end up in a forbidden romance with the village villain who's targeting teens in a dark plot? It's not yet clear how long Ray is on the show for and what will happen with the storyline. It comes as he was heard telling a mystery person about April "being of use" for their dodgy dealings. It wasn't revealed who he was on the phone to, but fans think they know the identity of the caller. Some fans have gone back to the Joe Tate theory about a possible teaming up, believing they are working together. Another theory speculated that fellow newcomer Celia might be linked to Ray. One theory said: "Anyone else curious as to who Ray was on the phone with? I reckon it's someone we know like Joe." Another post echoed this theory saying: "Is Ray working with Joe?" Meanwhile another fan commented: "Imagine if Ray was working with Celia."

Chris Pratt dragged into Katy Perry's bitter legal row after he rented $15m home she forced bedridden veteran, 85, from
The singer has been accused of lacking empathy LEGAL GUARDIAN Chris Pratt dragged into Katy Perry's bitter legal row after he rented $15m home she forced bedridden veteran, 85, from Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRIS Pratt could be dragged into Katy Perry's ugly legal battle to prise $6 million from an 85-year-old disabled veteran she evicted from his home. The Guardians of the Galaxy star and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are renting the $15 million house previously owned by Carl Westcott who is bedridden in a hospice. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom won a court battle to evict an elderly disabled veteran from his home Credit: Getty 8 Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are renting the $15 million house previously owned by Carl Westcott - which is at the heart of a heated legal fight Credit: Getty 8 An ailing and bedridden Carl Westcott, 85, who has a neurological disorder and is fighting Perry's claim for back rent and alleged damages Credit: Instagram / kameronwestcott 8 The second phase of the court battle is in connection with Westcott's former Montecito property, which he sold for $15 million in 2020 Credit: Supplied by the Westcott Family Westcott's family is outraged the popstar is suing the ailing man - who receives 24/7 care - for $6 million to cover back rent and alleged damages. Entrepreneur Westcott, a US Army veteran and founder of 1-800 Flowers - sold his Montecito mansion to Perry for $15 million in July 2020. Westcott had signed the property deal with Perry and Orlando Bloom's business manager, Bernie Gudvi, after initially agreeing to sell his 8.9-acre estate to the Firework singer. Gudvi accepted Westcott's counteroffer to increase the price from $13.5 million to $15 million, according to court documents. Read more on Katy Perry catty swipe Orlando Bloom mocks ex Katy Perry as she's seen 'on a date' with Justin Trudeau But just one month later, Westcott filed a lawsuit against Gudvi, alleging he was heavily medicated and not of sound mind when he contracted with Perry for the sale. He maintained that the contract was thus "void" on the grounds of his mental incapacity when he signed it. Westcott has been bedridden for nearly two years as he suffers from Huntington's disease, a brutal condition that stops parts of the brain working properly over time. However, the pop star's legal team successfully countered his challenge in court, and keys were exchanged in 2024, meaning that Westcott had to move out. The judge said Westcott presented no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity to enter into a real estate contract between June 10, 2020, and June 18, 2020, the days during which he negotiated and signed the contract. His angry son, Chart, told The U.S. Sun in February that Perry was "a rich pop star who can buy any other house in the world... she has no empathy... it's unforgivable." Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Spark Romance Rumors with Surprise Dinner in Montreal After her successful verdict, Perry then lodged a damages claim for $6 million against the elderly man - phase two of the legal action. According to court documents, the star's team is seeking compensation for alleged lost rental value, deferred maintenance, repairs for water damage and a fallen tree. Perry has paid $9 million so far for the $15 million property, which dates back to the 1920s/'30s, and is comprised of a large main house, three-bedroom guest house, one-bedroom pool house, gym building, and equipment building, per court filings. The Perry V Westcott case is heading back to court this month for the penalty phase, with his lawyers claiming in filings that her "16 witnesses have failed to produce any construction or repair contracts between Perry and any general contractor." The U.S. Sun understands that recovery of such costs is normal in civil litigation. RENTED OUT A source has told The U.S. Sun that the luxury house is currently being rented by Jurassic World star Chris Pratt, 46, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35. She is an American author and the eldest daughter of legendary Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger and NBC broadcast journalist Maria Shriver, who is also a member of the famous Kennedy family. The source added that, ironically, "Shriver initially put in a bid for the same house in 2020." Westcott's attorney returned to court last Tuesday ahead of a "likely attempt to subpoena Pratt because he is a material witness," she said. "For example, to establish when he started renting? He is living in a property that is wrapped up in a legal battle." The star is likely to be asked to testify - "Katy has already been mandated to do so," the source said. She added that Westcott's team "want to know how much Pratt is renting the house for. "Perry has claimed millions of dollars in damages, and claimed that it's not liveable - it's clearly liveable because an A-list actor is renting it." PRATT TESTIMONY Pratt's name was mentioned several times in court filings by Westcott's legal team last Friday in documents submitted to the Superior Court of the State of California. Before Perry's damages claim goes to trial, Westcott's attorneys have asked Judge Lipner to consider a "status report of issues to be resolved." Their August 1 document claimed: "Now, just before the Phase 2 trial, there is new, never-before disclosed evidence that Perry has rented out the Westcott property to the actor Chris Pratt and his wife. "Per a recent Daily Mail online newspaper article... 'sources close to Perry' say she rented the house to actor Chris Pratt." In their filings, the judge was asked to issue a pre-trial order to "allow Westcott's repair expert Steve Norris to do a short three-hour house re-inspection of the property... so he can see what repairs were done and opine as to their reasonable value." His attorneys also asked the judge to "allow Westcott to take several re-depositions limited to 3 hours each of the following persons: Perry and Gudvi... Chris Pratt (the tenant at the property, concerning its condition or problems and the terms of his lease agreement with Perry), and Orlando Bloom, Perry's boyfriend and father of her child, whose deposition testimony showed would personally be in charge of repairs." They alleged, "Now that we know Perry just rented out the house to a famous actor, conducting a trial on the real merits... means that this court's discretion should be exercised to allow the few and very short depositions requested and to allow Mr. Norris to spend 3 hours re-inspecting the property. "Another reason for allowing the short and few depositions is to allow Westcott and this court to know who owns the house after the recent split between Perry and her boyfriend Orlando Bloom." Their filings also alleged, "The current issues were caused by Perry/Gudvi waiting until after the September 2024 discovery cutoff to perform repairs, unless they did no repairs yet were still able to rent out the house as-is to Chris Pratt, which would tend to show the alleged repairs were exaggerated to drum up damages. "Either way, Perry's conduct is unfair and without the requested house inspection and short depositions requested by Westcott deprives him of a trial on the real merits." PERRY TO TESTIFY The source told The U.S. Sun today, "Judge Lipner confirmed that Katy will have to testify for at least an hour or more to the damages claim." Timeline of Katy Perry's mansion battle against veteran Carl Westcott July 2020: Entrepreneur Carl Westcott, US Army veteran and founder of 1-800 Flowers - sold his Montecito mansion to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom for $15 million. Westcott had bought it only two months earlier for about $11.25 million. August 2020: Westcott filed a lawsuit against Perry and Bloom's business manager, Bernie Gudvi, alleging he was heavily medicated and not of sound mind when he contracted with Perry for the sale. The pop star's legal team countered and alleged that Westcott, who has Huntington's disease, had changed his mind on the sale, and the contract should be upheld. December 2023: A judge ruled in favor of Perry, and upheld the original sales contract. A Los Angeles judge ruled that Westcott failed to prove incapacity, finding him of sound mind during the sale negotiations. March 2024: The keys were exchanged. On May 17, 2024, Perry officially took legal ownership after the deed was recorded. 2024-2025: Phase two of the legal action - after the successful verdict, Perry lodged a damages claim for $6 million against Westcott, who is bedridden and currently receiving 24/7 care. This claim has yet to go before court. August 2025: Damage claims and ongoing litigation - Perry has paid $9 million so far for the luxury property and is now seeking $6 million in damages, citing structural defects, deferred maintenance, and lost rental income. TRIAL IN AUGUST The latest legal request follows filings submitted by Westcott's legal team, lodged in the Superior Court early July, and which outlined a further motion in the case. The July documents show that Westcott asked the court to "exclude any and all evidence, references to evidence, exhibits, testimony or argument relating to claims for alleged damages concerning repairs allegedly needed at Mr. Westcott's former home located at... Santa Barbara, California, as of May 17, 2024." Westcott's legal team explained in these earlier filings that escrow closed on May 17, 2024, and that Perry "must testify" in the penalty phase. "Since Gudvi had signed the contract in his capacity as the agent of the singer Katy Perry, the court ruled that Perry is the real-party-in-interest as to the damages being sought in the Phase 2 trial and that she must testify during the trial." Who is Carl Westcott? Katy Perry is suing the bedridden and ailing veteran, 85, who has a neurological disorder Carl Westcott was born in 1939 at the charity hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Westcott and his five sisters lived in a house without indoor plumbing. When Westcott was six, his father - who drove a logging truck - left and never returned. His mother became a nurse's aide, earning just $5 per eight-hour shift. When he was five, Westcott sold papers in front of the Vicksburg Hotel, as well as chewing gum - he also shined shoes. "By the time I was eight, I was making more money than my mother." The judge ruled that the boy should go to Columbia Training School, a state institution, until the situation improved at home. When Westcott was 16, he asked his mother to change his birth date in the family Bible to prove he was old enough to join the U.S. Army. He became a paratrooper and was honorably discharged as a corporal After becoming a successful car salesman, he joined Sopp Chevrolet as the dealership's general manager. In 1983, Westcott bought the NBC television affiliate in Tyler, Texas. His firm, Westcott Communications, became a pioneer in producing training programs in 18 fields such as automobile dealership management, certified public accountants, and law enforcement personnel. The company went public in 1989, and Westcott sold it in 1996. He said that, throughout his lengthy life, he has treated others with respect and dignity. Source: Horatio Algar Association of Distinguished Americans - Westcott was an award recipient in 2003 The documents also said that the property title, "was vested in the name of an entity supposedly owned by Perry called DDoveB LLC, a California limited liability company, formed on April 9, 2024. "The name of the LLC closely resembles the name Perry's daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, the child of Perry and her long-time actor boyfriend, Mr. Orlando Bloom. "Westcott's counsel has repeatedly asked Perry's counsel who owns the LLC that owns the house? "This court has always been told that Gudvi is Perry's manager and agent, and at her deposition before Phase 1 Perry testified the house was to be owned by her and she was buying it to live in, and not to rent." QUESTIONS OVER REPAIRS Westcott's legal team claimed in the July court document that under the terms of the house sale contract, it stated the home was being sold "in its present physical condition" and that the singer "had the right to perform inspections" prior to escrow being closed. They alleged that "Perry's lawyers did not even produce a written schedule showing each alleged item of repair and the cost Perry is seeking for each allegedly defective condition." His lawyers also claimed in the documents that "newspapers reported that Perry had just rented the house to the actor Chris Pratt, whose wife is the daughter of Maria Shriver, whom the court will recall from the Phase 1 testimony was bidding against Perry to buy the property in 2020." This revelation prompted Westcott's team to "immediately contact Perry's counsel" and ask for further details about her current rental agreement with Pratt, per the document. His lawyers also requested an "expert" to visit the property to "visualize any repairs." 8 A judge ruled in favor of Katy Perry in 2023 Credit: Getty 8 Carl Westcott is 85 years old and is bedridden with Huntington's disease, a condition that stops parts of the brain working properly over time Credit: Supplied by the Westcott Family The document added, "Given that many of her prior 'estimates' totaling $2.29 million pertained to habitability items, it defies logic and common sense that she was able to rent the house to a famous actor. "Perry's counsel flatly refused in a series of approximately half a dozen meet and confer emails to even disclose if repairs had been done." FAMILY HOME The Daily Mail reported in June that the singer had rented out the property to Pratt. A source told the paper, "The arrangement suits Chris, but it's a bit of a surprise given how Katy fought tooth and nail to get her hands on the house. "She previously suggested it was the ideal place for her and Orlando to raise a family. "After all that time, energy, and money, it seems unthinkable that they are not going to live in it." The U.S. Sun has contacted representatives for Pratt, Perry and Bloom for comment on the latest developments in the bitter case. STRUGGLE Westcott had intended to live in his home for the remainder of his life, according to his angry family. His son, Chart, ranted on X last November, 'My family has been in a struggle against… Katy Perry and now Orlando Bloom to defend the honor of my father, Carl Westcott, who is dying from Huntington's Disease. 'He is a US Army Veteran and winner of the Horatio Alger US award (an honor he shares with Clarence Thomas, Buzz Aldrin, and Donald Trump's father Fred Trump). 'Celebrity privilege, much like political lawfare, must end. We cannot afford any two tier justice in America.' The Horatio Alger Award is given to exceptional leaders who 'personify the American Dream' and have triumphed over adversity to achieve greatness. The latest revelations come as photos showed Justin Trudeau and Perry enjoying a night out in Canada after the singer split with Bloom earlier this year. 8 Carl Westcott pictured at his former home before he became bedridden Credit: Facebook/Kameron Westcott
