"I know what it's like to lose someone. I lost my mum, I lost my dad. I lost my wife,” he told the youngster, whose father Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) was killed before he was born.
"She used to work in this place."
Hunter asked: “What was her name?”
“Ronnie,” Jack sighed.
Naturally, just the mention of Ronnie’s name sparked floods of tears from viewers on Twitter.
“Jack talking about Ronnie is ruining me,” sobbed one fan. “It’s been exactly a year and two months and I'm still nowhere near over it.”
Another cried: “Jack mentioned Ronnie.”
“Jack talking about Ronnie ;(,” bawled a third.
