“He was always the coolest guy in the room, he had class, charisma, this magic about him that nobody else had. Anyone who met him, even once, remembered him forever.”
The TV star said he would call his late pal daily to remind him how special he was and the joy he brought to those around him.
“Everything he touched felt effortless, but really it was genius,” he wrote.
Ryan admitted it took some time before they became close, but once they were, they were bonded for life.

He wrote: “The deep chats , the hysterical laughs even the petty fallouts — We shared it all. We had the same morals, the same family values, and the same outlook on life: we genuinely wanted people around us to win.As I write this now I can hear him laughing saying,‘Shut up you silly c**t.’”
He continued: “For all the people that admired his talent, what mattered most to him was always his family. He idolised his dad, adored his mum, and loved his little brother more than words could ever explain. You just felt it every time he spoke about them.
“His next chapter is written in the stars now and it’s all about River. I promise she’ll grow up surrounded by love and stories about how inspiring & powerful her daddy is.”
Family, friends and followers all sent their condolences.
His brother Scott commented: “I love you big bro… he’s always with you.”
