THE beloved wife of footballer and film star Vinnie Jones died yesterday (July 6) after battling with both skin cancer and cervical cancer.

Tanya died at the age of 53, at their home in Los Angeles surrounded by family who supported her throughout the battle.

Jones’ management said in a statement: “At 8.46am local time in Los Angeles on Saturday July 6, Vinnie Jones’ wife, Tanya Jones, passed away after a long illness.

“Tanya passed peacefully at the Jones family home surrounded by Vinnie, their daughter and other family members.

“Vinnie and the family ask for privacy while they go through an understandable period of mourning during this devastating time.”

Vinnie confirmed in 2013 that they had both been battling skin cancer. He also said that Tanya had a heart transplant 26 years ago, which was a result of drug usage.

Tanya had previously been treated twice for cervical cancer.

A source added: “Tanya had been ill for quite a while. But the last two or three weeks her condition really deteriorated.”
