Gwyneth Paltrow claims husband Chris Martin saved her from a joyless life following the death of her beloved father.

The actress admits she was devastated when dad Bruce died in 2002 - and says she didn't get her "spark" back until she met the Coldplay star.

She said: "My father was the most important relationship in my life until he passed away.

"Before I met Chris, I had lost my spark, I had lost my sense of humour. I couldn't find the joy in things. Now I like my life. I'm in a good place."

The star now claims she's never been happier since having her baby, Apple, with Chris and is determined to repeat the experience one day.

Gwyneth - who last week was rumoured to be pregnant again - told Britain's Grazia magazine: "The most euphoria I've ever experienced was having a baby."
