Ms Marshall stated her inheritance from Ms Shaw's father had been a form of stabilizing the books after she had put her own equity into their living arrangement.

She said: 'I was with Vinny for 15 years and when we bought a house together I sold mine and included ₤ 50,000. We had a ₤ 100,000 mortgage and when he died we still owed ₤ 62,000.

'We also had credit cards to pay and he had reserved a holiday for all the household to go to Disneyland Paris - but regrettably died before we were due to go.

'I asked the household if they still wished to go and they did so we went as a big household, which totalled ₤ 12,000.

'We 'd had a will drawn up around 2005. It was what is called 'a mirrored will' - so that if I passed away whatever went to him, and if he died whatever went to me ... and if we both died together it got shared in between my two children and his two kids, consisting of Suzanne.

'Business went to Suzanne's brother, Paul. There was a six-year age difference between us - Vinny was 62 when he passed away and I was 56.

'I don't comprehend why Suzanne has said what she has said on TV 13 years on. She might have objected to the will but didn't and we remained in contact.'

Irene and Vincent resided in Bury in Greater Manchester, however she has actually now transferred to Cyprus after marrying her fifth husband Thomas Marshall 5 years earlier.

She included: 'Vinny set up his company before meeting me but after about 3 years together we both became directors and I provided my task up and dealt with him until he died.

'I want individuals to understand I had not only a funeral to pay for and financial obligations to cover but I didn't have a task, as Vinny was the cameraman.'

'Families you need to have conversations now and make decisions based upon what is morally right and raise your kids without any expectation of your wealth. None of us are entitled to another person's handbag. Have the discussions.'

Suzanne has actually formerly mentioned the pain of her father's death, stating: 'What was hardest was witnessing his fast degeneration. It was a really difficult time for the household.'
