Recalling the last conversation the pair had, the rapper - real name Stephen Manderson - said: 'After my 18th birthday - that was the last time I saw him because we didn't talk for years. The year before he ended up taking his own life, I reached out to him just before Christmas.

'We were meant to meet the day after Boxing Day. I spoke to him on Boxing Day and he said that his wife and their children wanted to see me.'

Struggling to hold his emotions in check, he said: 'I lost my temper because it was not about playing happy families, it was about us being adults and talking about everything that happened.

Revealing the last words he spoke to his father, Pro said: 'He started to stutter. I had put myself on the line again - which is something I promised I wouldn't do - and I said, "If I ever see you again, I'll knock you out".

'I found out on the Wednesday morning when my Nan came into my room and told me that my dad had hung himself.'

Turning away from his dark reflections, the rapper remarked that talking about his troubled past has helped him to move on to a better place in his life.
