“I lost my mum 34 years ago and still have moments like this. You never get over the loss just learn day by day to deal with it.”

The TV star lost her mum to cancer back in February of this year.

She announced the tragic news on Twitter at the time, saying: “My mum sadly passed away last night.

“She battled cancer to the end. I’ve lost my mate – She was my everything. RIP Mum. I’m waiting for your signs.”

The post was acknowledged by thousands of fans with over 4,000 comments full of well wishes.

She wrote: “Last [night] my dad called 111. He desperately needed a doctor. Eight hours later they called back. That’s how busy they are.

“Sadly was very late and at midnight was admitted to hospital because he needed to be checked. He’s 81. Our NHS are so up against it. It’s so worrying. Stay home.”

Soon after, she posted an update to inform fans that he was home and recovering.

“He’s home now and recovering – but alone, I want to look after my dad and hug him & make him soup.”

“All so very hard after just losing mum. He needs to isolate – I miss him.”

In a lengthy Instagram post, she recognised how important it is for her dad to self-isolate even though he is on his own.

“I’ve just had a chat with my lovely dad who’s isolating alone. It’s hard for everyone who’s separated from family at this time.

“I know it’s the right thing to for his own safety but I still have a little weep when we talk about mum & her passing & what we are most looking forward too when this is all over,” she said.

Homes Under The Hammer continues weekdays at 10am on BBC.
