What happened to Tiffany Youngs? Tiffany was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma – a form of blood cancer – shortly after the birth of daughter Maisie in 2014, after developing a cough she couldn’t shift.

In 2017, Tiffany was told her illness would be terminal and, despite being told she was in remission in 2018, she tragically lost her fight with the disease.

After Tiffany was told in 2017 that her illness was ‘incurable’ and she could die within a month, Tom’s brother Ben Youngs pulled out of the British and Irish Lions’ tour of New Zealand.

In 2018, Tiffany went into remission, but the illness sadly returned and Tom went on indefinite leave from Tigers duties in October 2021 to care for his seriously ill wife before retiring from the game.
