Lea Michele paid tribute to her former boyfriend Cory Monteith on the 10th anniversary of his death.

The two Glee stars started dating while appearing on the hit Fox series about a group of high school teens who performed as part of their school's glee club.

Monteith, who played quarterback Finn, died of an accidental heroin overdose on 13 July, 2013, aged 31.

The third episode of the fifth season, titled 'The Quarterback' was filmed and aired in his memory, which also confirmed the death of Monteith’s character.

"I hold all of our memories in my heart where they will stay safe and never forgotten.

A third Glee fan said: "He’s watching you from above with the biggest smile on his face, he couldn’t be more proud of the person you become, he will live in the heart of us forever… love you both so much."

Monteith had openly discussed his troubled history of substance abuse, which began when he was a teenager. He started using drugs when he was 13 and entered drug rehabilitation aged 19.

In March 2013, while appearing on Glee, Monteith sought treatment for his addiction once again. He was subsequently written out of the show for the final two episodes of the fourth season.
