Vogue Williams has revealed she somewhat blames herself following the death of her father.

Her father tragically passed away almost seven years ago following a number of health issues.

The 68-year-old underwent surgery to remove an aneurysm and soon after, suffered a devastating stroke.

The Dubliner has admitted she feels partially responsible, as she urged him to get the operation.

“In a weird way I blame myself a little for him dying,” she wrote in her new book, Everything.

“I pushed him to get the operation out of the way, when maybe he should have waited a little longer and had more of a life.

“I also feel I should have been more vocal when he didn’t seem right after the operation because they might have caught that last stroke earlier, but such is life.”

Speaking about the night of his passing, she said, “Myself, my sister and my aunt had to meet with the surgeon to decide what to do next and whether or not we should turn off dad’s life support machine.

“I didn’t want to. I wanted to give him more time to fight, but in hindsight, that was selfish.

“He would have had no quality of life if my sister and aunt Sharon had not made the decision to let him go.

“It was six o’clock on a Friday when I watched my dad die as I held his hand.

“I could see the life leave him and then he was gone. It can just happen so quickly – suddenly. That’s it, someone you love is gone.

“I speak about my dad a lot because I love remembering him. It’s only when I’ve had a drink that I might get upset.”
