‘We were more like father and daughter’

-

EVEN though there was a 43-year age gap between them, Patsy Brogan insisted that he would marry his Polish girlfriend, Daria Weiske.

But despite their muchpublic­ised plans to walk down the aisle, the couple never married.

And this weekend, the Polish waitress revealed they were more like a father and daughter than star-crossed lovers.

‘It was a kind of love for sure. We were friends... more a parent’s love,’ she explained to the Mail on Sunday.

‘I was a bit lonely and looking for anything to fix myself.

‘He was very good to me. The situation was quite hard. It’s sad. I miss him so badly.

‘It was a little bit hard to go to the funeral. People were very nice to me and nobody said anything wrong to me.’
