“Although the disease is more advanced, she’s stabilized, so we’re in a pretty good place at the moment. Where there’s hope, there’s life.”

Moreover, Wilson and his wife share three children- two sons named James and Chris, a daughter named Ashley. Revealing about his past friend and now wife, Helen, he said,

“She wasn’t really interested – she had a boyfriend, and they were planning to travel around Europe together,” “We were at a coffee shop, and she was doing her best to let me down gently.”

“So I presented her with this long letter on the back of a serviette and left it there. I said, ‘If you change your mind you know where I am.’” “And we’ve been together ever since!”
