X Factor and Union J star Jaymi Hensley has broken his silence after the devastating death of his fiance Olly Marmon following a fall from a third-floor window at a hotel in Northampton.

In a moving statement the singer, 34, described Olly, who was declared dead at 12:30am on Monday morning, as "beautiful" and thanked fans for their messages of support. The pair had been together for 14 years before the tragedy at the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough.

A statement published in the Mail said: "Jaymi Hensley would like to thank all the love, messages and prayers sent to him over the loss of his beautiful fiancé Oliver Marmon. At this time the family would like the media to respect the privacy of Jaymi and Oliver's family while they mourn the loss of Oliver."

Northamptonshire Police initially treated Olly's death as potentially suspicious, detaining a 34-year-old but he was later released without charge. A forensic post-mortem conducted on Tuesday suggested Olly's fatal injuries were consistent with a fall from height.

Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell explained: "This has been a complex and fast-moving investigation, and our thoughts remain with Olly's family and loved ones at this very difficult time. It is only right that an incident such as this is treated with the utmost seriousness, to make sure we have done all we can to understand what has happened, and to get the answers those left behind need and want.

"In Olly's case I can confirm the evidence we have examined did not support his death as a homicide, which has now been further confirmed by the results of the preliminary forensic post-mortem report. Our initial findings and decision have been explained to Olly's family who will continued to be supported by Northamptonshire Police as they mourn the loss of their loved one."

Jaymi and Olly's wedding, which had been more than a year in the planning, was due to take place next month. Their final post together saw them enjoying themselves in France just days ago with Olly writing: "Bonjour de Marseille."
