DEVASTATED families were in mourning last night as the names of some of the 52 Britons who perished in the Air India jet disaster were revealed.

Yoga teacher and entrepreneur Jamie Meek, 44, and his husband, Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, 39, were due to return home to London on the flight.

Jamie appeared in BBC One's DanceX TV show in 2013 and reached the finals of the contest.

His brother Nick, from Birmingham, said last night: "We were expecting him home tonight.

"He should have landed at 6.30pm and then driven up for about 11pm to get his dog, who is staying with our mum.

"She is not in a good way. It is all very raw for her at the moment. It's a lot to take in and we only heard this news a couple of hours ago."

Nick said the couple had been in India for 10 days visiting a wellness retreat.

In the UK, the couple ran The 'My body is literally shivering. I am not able to talk. My mind is totally blank' Wellness Foundry, a healthy lifestyle company with bases in London and Ramsgate, Kent.

They posted a selfie video in the departure lounge moments before boarding the disaster-hit Boeing 787 jet.

In the clip, Fiongal says: "We are at the airport just boarding. Goodbye India. Ten-hour flight back to England."

The couple had made an appearance on ITV's This Morning in January to showcase their wellness brand.

Former This Morning editor Martin Frizell shared a photo of Fiongal alongside show hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley in the studio.
