The family made headlines in late August 2023 following the tragic death of Joe Worrall's uncle, Sargeant Graham Saville. Graham was hit by a train while saving a man allegedly in distress in Balderton and rushed to hospital for treatment. Sadly, he died after spending multiple days in the facility.
