Barry McGuigan shares how living with grandchildren 'saved him' after death of his daughter Barry McGuigan, 63, has opened up about his family life after losing his daughter Danika in 2019, when she was just 33.
In a recent interview, Barry explained how living with three of his seven grandchildren helped him deal with his grief, after struggling greatly with the loss of his daughter.
The boxing legend left fans in tears when he shared an emotional moment with his campmates on I’m a Celebrity this year, speaking about how his life changed after he lost Nika to bowel cancer.
Alongside Nika, Barry and his wife Sandra share three sons: Shane, Jake, and Blain.
Barry explained that during his lowest moments he was left wondering what the “point” was, but having his grandkids in the house meant he had a responsibility to get up and look after them.
