Matt Lucas has shared an emotional tribute to his late husband Kevin, who died in 2009.

Taking to Instagram, Matt posted a picture of Kevin on a train platform with a beaming smile on his face and captioned the snap with a tribute revealing how Kevin was ‘so funny and silly and clever and kind and handsome and his smile made my heart soar’.

Matt and Kevin wed in 2006 in a civil ceremony attended by cluding Barbara Windsor, Neil Tennant, Elton John, and Courtney Love but they had it dissolved in 2008.

A year later Kevin died, and Matt shared that he ‘loved him more than anyone I’ve ever met’.

‘This is Kevin John McGee, who died ten years ago today,’ he wrote.

‘I loved him more than anyone I’ve ever met, and still do. He was so funny and silly and clever and kind and handsome and his smile made my heart soar. We were together for nearly six years and he made me the happiest man on the planet.’

He continued: ‘In the end he lost his battle with addiction and depression. I guess some people don’t have the armour for this world

‘I think of him probably a hundred times a day, every day. In truth, I think of little else. I would give anything to see him again and maybe one day I will, but for now I will be grateful for the time we had together and the love we shared.

‘It was like no other.’

He turned off comments on the post.

The pair’s split was thought to be amicable but was in part due to Kevin’s cocaine addiction, however, months before his death they were thought to be given romance another chance.
