"Words cannot express how completely heartbroken and devastated we are to have lost Kieran. Our lives will never be the same,” a tribute from Kieran’s family said.

“Kieran really was the best son, brother and uncle that anyone could have wished for and he will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure to have known him. Kieran and Rebecca are now reunited forever and they will always be in our hearts."

The family also thanked those who tried to help the couple after the fire and requested privacy.

"We would like to thank everyone who tried to help Kieran and Rebecca following the fire and would ask that we are left to grieve in peace at this time,” they said.

"Six firefighters wearing breathing apparatus are fighting the fire with four hose reel jets. The fire also involves the roof of the property. The road has been closed by Cheshire Police while the incident is being dealt with."
