It was a hard one to film, but it’s been well worth doing.“The positive feedback that we’ve had has been unreal.”He went on: “It struck a chord, it really did. I sound soft again but thank you very much, what we’ve raised so far has been brilliant.”He echoed Sonny’s words that “every little helps”, adding: “You may be proud of us, but we’re proud of you.”He captioned the post: “Thanks for all your kind comments and generous donations, it really means the world to us. We’ve raised nearly £4000 now!!!”Followers flocked to share their support in the comments, as one said: “Amazing show and you lot are amazing people - keep doing what you are doing, you have so much support and love.”Another wrote: “You guys are ALL an inspiration to EVERYONE! Thank you for sharing your lives. Such a feel good programme. Remember, you are not alone.”A third said, “Nothing soft about what you and Sonny said, it inspired me to donate as I’m sure it did to others. Thank you.”Someone else echoed: “Not soft at all, mate shows the strength you both have.”During the Life in the Dales episode last week, Capper shared: “When you lose someone, it’s hard. It’s not nice, so you need somewhere to be where you can just have a moment to yourself.”He went on: “We’ve both been through it, we’ve dealt with the mourning of family members and best friends.‌“I first dealt with it when I was seven years old, and my best friend when I was 16. He was only 18 when he passed.“My pal died in a road accident, and I was with him 20 minutes before he died. It was a right wet night, it was horrible.“He drove there and never made it back home. About half an hour later, I got the phone call… it was nasty. He was there, and then he’s not.”‌He went on to thank Sonny and their other friends for the support he’s had, before Sonny broke down in tears, remembering his close friend.He shared: “I lost my pal, unfortunately, to suicide.”‌Wiping away tears, he went on: “He was like a brother. I was speaking to him the night before, got the phone call the next morning. They couldn’t bring him back.”Capper replied: “It’s ok to not be ok, everyone has their battles, and I’m very lucky I’ve got you, boys.”Talking about their charity project, Capper added: “I think our pals would be proud of us.”Article continues belowReuben Owen: Life in the Dales airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 5.
