The grieving wife of actor Andy Whitfield has painfully revealed the star's final words to kids, as he tried to comfort the little ones on the last day of his life.

In a heartbreaking interview with The Sunday Telegraph Vashti Whitfield said her late husband made an emotional speech to his two children Jesse, 6, and Indigo, 4, moments before he passed away from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"I am going to go to sleep now as my body won't work any more. I am like a butterfly with broken wings," he told them. "I will always be with you and will always be watching over you. I love you."
