Murgatroyd took to Instagram last week to share that her father, Derek John Murgatroyd, had passed away at the age of 81. She shared a photo of the two of them sitting side by side on a boat, writing, “To The Greatest Dad, my teddy bear. This is the end of our ride earth side.”

“Oh how I wish we could take this boat trip again,” Murgatroyd continued. “In the next life we will. This glance to each other was perfectly captured, you were so content, at sea where you were always meant to be. I know though that you will continue to ride with me until I see you again.”
