Alongside a plethora of snaps of his mum over the years, he wrote: ‘My Mam would have been 80 today, she passed away last night. I’m swept away with grief and sadness. I was very close to my Mam, she was just the best Mam anyone could have.

‘She loved Christmas and she made ours when we were kids so very special and memorable. A kind, generous and gentle little lady. A mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Also a true friend to many that she knew.’

Speaking further about his cherished mother, he continued: ‘She had problems in later life with terrible arthritis and challenging mental health, but she never lost her friendly smile and loving nature.

‘My Mam was kind, thoughtful and always nice to people; honest, hard working and loved her family/friends so very much. Things in life we should all aspire to do. Qualities that make the world a better place.

‘I’m hoping she is now with her mam and dad (Alice and Ozzie) and her little dog Holly. No more pain, no more hurting.’

The sad death comes just two years after Charlotte announced the death of her nan Jean. 

The reality star told how she was ‘heartbroken’ following the death of her ‘brave’ grandparent, as she shared a sweet video montage.

The death came just a month after Charlotte welcomed her first child, Alba Jean, into the world via Caesarean-section, who she named after her relative.

The family tragedy comes amid a difficult time for Charlotte as she was recently left ‘living in fear’ following a raid at her £1million mansion. 

Charlotte, who is eight months pregnant, was upstairs with her daughter Alba when a gang of balaclava masked raiders entered her £1million Sunderland home last month. 

One of the assailants was reportedly carrying a machete, with her fiancé Jake Ankers, 34, going on to chase the four robbers out of their home.

The couple have since enlisted heavy security in the wake of the scare as she said she isn’t taking any chances with her and her family’s safety after admitting that she’s been ‘living in fear’, telling her fans how she’s ‘trebled’ her security.

The pregnant star has since revealed her daughter Alba, two, is struggling to settle at night following the terrifying robbery attempt at her home last month. 

The reality star confessed she had had a sleepless night with the toddler as she admitted she seemed unsettled and ‘scared’ and had been clinging to both her and her fiancé Jake. 

Taking to her Instagram Story looking cosy in all black knitwear from her clothing brand Pepper Girls Club, Charlotte cradled her bump as she wrote: ‘Had a completely sleepless night last night with my little alba.’

The star explained: ‘She’s not settled well since being back, I don’t no [sic] whether that’s because she’s been away with us and we’ve all been together constantly or whether it’s just because she’s a little scared in the house since what happened.

Sharing her concerns with her 8.7 million followers she admitted she is worried about her daughter and that she is exhausted as she prepares to welcome her second daughter next month.  

She continued: ‘I’m a little worried about her and fully preparing myself for another night by her side settling her when she wakes. 

‘That girl is honestly my life, I’ll just do anything to make her feel settled and safe.’
