Molly and Ted's heartbreaking statement read: "It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our incredible mother, Annabel Giles, who passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon at Martlets Hospice in Hove.
"In July, Mum was diagnosed with a stage 4 Glioblastoma, a fast-growing and highly aggressive malignant brain tumour.
"In the four months that followed, she displayed remarkable resilience and strength, despite undergoing brain surgery and countless radiotherapies.
"In her final weeks, she was passionate about raising awareness for Glioblastoma, embodying her lifelong commitment to helping others."
Annabel had been part of the 13th series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here back in 2013, entering the jungle on day five.
She came out of the show in 12th place after failing to impress viewers at home, who voted her out of the show.
In 2018, Annabel returned to TV as she took to a role in ITV programme Our Shirley Valentine Summer.
The mum, who was best known as co-presenter of ITV's Posh Frocks and New Trousers, has also appeared on Have I Got News For You, Through the Keyhole, and Noel's House Party.
The former The Wright Stuff guest had one daughter with ex-husband and Ultravox lead singer Midge Ure who she was married to between 1985 and 1989.
