Lindsey has opened up about their inspiring journey as a family after he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, saying it was a "privilege and honour" to look after him.

Lindsey spoke about the incredible strength of character Rob showed in his fight against the incurable, degenerative disease and his persistence in keeping his wife and three children positive during the struggle.

It comes as she and others are urging the public to vote for There's Only One Rob Burrow for the Best Documentary category at the National Television Awards tomorrow.

The documentary, which was produced by the BBC along with Rob and the family, was broadcast following Rob's death aged 41 on June 2 last year and featured a moving farewell message in which Rob urged people "not to waste a moment" of their lives.

Lindsey said: "What's really special and important is the message that he left us, which is one of hope and defiance in the most difficult of circumstances.

"We've got to look after each other no matter what cards you're dealt in life (and) make the most of things.

"We feel incredibly proud as a family to have made the documentary and it would be an absolute dream to take the children on to the stage and just show the nation how proud we are of Rob's incredible fight and, importantly, continue to raise awareness of MND."

Lindsey said she is "under no illusion" about the calibre of the other documentaries nominated, which includes Boyzone: No Matter What, Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, Flintoff and Molly-Mae: Behind It All.
