Harry Jowsey has revealed the heartbreaking news that his father Paul has died.
The 27-year-old Too Hot To Handle star made the somber announcement on his Instagram page on Wednesday.
He first posted a cryptic image of a broken-hearted emoji and a dove with an olive branch against a black background in his Instagram Stories on Tuesday night.
The issue began to come into focus on Wednesday, when Harry — who said in August that he had a new boyfriend — followed up the post with an Insta Stories post of two photos stacked on top of each other.
The older photo appeared to show the reality star from behind as a child while he sat next to his father, and the second photo showed a more recent photo of Harry turning to smile at his father and putting a hand on his back affectionately.
‘I love you Dad, I miss you,’ Harry captioned a subsequent photo shared on his main Instagram page that confirmed his father’s death. ‘I’ll catch you on the other side ❤️✨.’

Harry reposted the family photo later in his Insta Stories as he thanked his friends and fans for ‘all the lovely messages.’
‘Love you all,’ he added, before instructing his followers to ‘Hug your parents.’
Hours later, Harry shared a confessional text post after news of his father’s death.
‘These last few months haven’t been easy in the slightest but I just want to thank my friends for being there through it all,’ he wrote.
‘I especially want to thank @jaimee [Jamie Lupton] & @nickmowbray [Nick Mowbray],’ he added. ‘They went above and beyond to get videos from some of my dad’s favourite rugby players, it brought the biggest smile to my face.’
Jowsey included several of the videos, which featured messages to Paul from rugby stars Anton Lienert-Brown, Damian Mckenzie, Shaun Johnson and Richie McCaw.
Harry didn’t share his father’s cause of death, but Anton mentioned ‘cancer’ and compared it to a ‘thorn.’

Harry paused his social media post after sharing a final video with his late father.
In the sweet clip, the two sat outside and had apparently just watched one of the videos sent in by the pro rugby players.
‘How’d you get that?’ his father said with a slow drawl.
He got a laugh of out Harry when he added, ‘I’ll be f***ed. That’s my favorite ever player.’
When he asked Harry if the video was ‘for real,’ his son replied with a delighted smile, ‘Yeah, it’s him. He just sent it right now.’
