“I hope you all have a blessed day and remember to enjoy each other, blow the dust off them board games, catch some joke, life and memories are so precious.”
Marcus shared the sad news on his Instagram page last week.
He said: “As most of you may already know, I have had a bereavement in my family.
“As a result, the gym will be closed today,” Marcus told his 117k followers.
“Both children and adult sessions are cancelled whilst my family celebrate the life of our loved one.”
Loose Women star Judi Love commented: “Thinking of you all sweetie.”
“Sending all the love and prayers I can,” said another fan of the couple.
“Thoughts and prayers are with your family,” said another.

Mica announced Koko’s arrival by giving followers a little glimpse of the little one.
A short clip uploaded to social media showed Mica bursting with pride and smiles before lovingly snuggling Koko’s tiny feet.
However, beyond her little legs, the rest of Koko remained off camera.
Mica captioned the post: “Don’t mind me, I’m just round here enjoying Granternity leave from work.
“Blessed and grateful beyond measure to have our first grandchild.
“She’s beautiful, she’s healthy and I’m gonna try my very best as her Granny to remember she’s not actually mine. But she’s mine.”
‘Welcome to this crazy world’
Mica also hailed Koko’s future with her words.
She added: “Welcome to this crazy world Koko.
“You’ll grow up to be well respected and well protected in these streets. Mama Love.”
Mica accidentally deleted her original Insta post, joking she was “already moving like an old granny”.
However, despite removing her upload about Koko by mistake, she soon rectified her error and “put her tootsies right back on my timeline”.
