The 62-year-old continued, “She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified. I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum”.

“Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and Critical Care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum's and our angels. Your love and care has been our saviour”.

“Together forever”, the former Dancing on Ice host added to the caption.
