The husband of Stephen Gately has reportedly been struggling to find the late Boyzone star's will, it has been reported.

Andrew Cowles had been told that the document was in the hands of a London-based company of solicitors. However he is unaware which one, the Daily Mirror has revealed.

A source said: "It really is panic stations. They can't locate Stephen's will anywhere.

"The problem is, [Cowles] has no idea which firm holds the will, and nobody from the firm has got in touch with him to say they have it. Everything is up in the air now."

It was believed that the tragic pop singer's will was originally expected to be read out to his family today.

The star's fortune was estimated to be around £7.5 million.

Gately passed away aged 33 during a holiday in Majorca in October by way of natural causes due to pulmonary oedema.
