What did Darius Campbell Danesh say about his time with Tristan Waite and Asher?
Of the sons, Darius said: “Natasha had two incredible children, Tristan and Asher, and I had the fortune of – over many years – being a very close friend to them and I shudder to say the word stepfather, but you grow to love these children as closely as you could your own.”
He also said: “The sense I’m left with, though, is how lucky I was to impact these two young boys’ lives.
“I got to play with them on the beach, to take them on holidays, I got to bring them to Edinburgh when I was in Guys And Dolls, to tell them ghost stories on the Royal Mile.
“It was amazing. So I have nothing but gratitude for this relationship..”
