A spokesperson for the charity tweeted: “We are very sad to bring you news that our trustee Richard Collins has passed away this week.  

“Devoted and caring husband to Janis, and dad to Michael and Jess, we will always remember his great humour and sense of fun.  

“Sending love to all the family.”

Tributes have flooded in from fans of Amy as well as those who knew Richard.
