The comedian shared a statement on his Instagram account
Comedian Russell Howard has shared a heartbreaking update on the death of his baby son Felix, stating that he died shortly after birth in what is the “most devastating time of our lives”.
The 46-year-old stand-up and TV host shared a statement on his Instagram account and said his family has been “changed forever”.
In the statement, Howard said: “Earlier this year, our family changed forever when our beautiful baby boy, Felix, died shortly after birth. During the most devastating time of our lives, the hospital staff who cared for us showed extraordinary compassion, kindness and humanity.”
He added: “They helped us navigate an unimaginable heartache and gave us support when we needed it most.”
Howard and his wife, Cerys Morgan, have since established The Felix Foundation in memory of their son.
He continued: “During our time in hospital, Felix was placed in a cool cot which meant that my wife and I were able to spend precious hours with our beautiful boy. Those hours are among the most precious memories we have of Felix.”
