Last week, as he prepared to face his first Christmas with George, Fawaz revealed how he moved out of the house he shared as the grief was too much.
'Wounded' with grief, he fled to the countryside and cannot face staying in London because it brings back too many memories.
He told the Sunday Mirror: 'I will be spending Christmas in the countryside with some friends. I can't stand all the Christmas trees or lights around London.
'It makes me so sad, I just want it over and done with.'
He vowed never to find love again and insisted he would never speak about the day he discovered George's lifeless body in bed at their country manor in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

Fawaz - who helped George through rehab in 2015 - has sought comfort in writing poetry about the singer, who was nicknamed Yog.
