LOVE Island’s Shaughna Phillips is convinced she was sent a sign from her late dad Edward as she was given a teddy bear bearing his name.
The 25-year-old was delighted about the gift, as she felt it meant her dad – who lost his battle to cancer in December 2016 – was near her.
She told her followers: “I received this lovely teddy bear with my flowers, whose name is Edward (my dad’s name).
“I love little signs like this.”
The star continued: “I wish my dad was here, but I know he’s with me every step of the way.”
She was particularly taken with what it said inside the card – “Please love me as much as I will love you for years to come.”
Shaughna opened up about her dad Eddie’s death at the time – telling her friends and followers: “My brave, amazing daddy passed away this morning at 5:35am.
“He has spent the past 5 days completely pain free, surrounded by all of his closest friends and family.
“My mama hasn’t left his side once, and all of the stories and memories that have been spoken about have shown me it’s okay to smile.
“Cancer may have taken my dad but it cannot take the past 22 years away from me, and his love will stay with me forever.
“Me and my dad had loads of chats the past few months, and any promise I made to him will be fulfilled, I bet my life on it.”
She later got a tattoo tribute for him on her arm, which reads: “Hanging out in the clouds under the moon.”
