Pregnant Charlotte Crosby suffers more heartbreak as beloved grandma dies on Boxing Day

CHARLOTTE Crosby has been left heartbroken following the death of her grandma.

The reality star, 34, paid tribute to her dad’s mother, who passed away on Boxing Day – leaving the family bereft.

Sharing a picture of them together with her daughter Alba, Charlotte shared: “We lost an amazing woman last night, kind, wonderful and the most loving family member.

“Always incredibly proud of me and my achievements! And always the very first to boast about me. I will never forget how much she supported me so dearly! We will miss you so much, She loved little Alba so much!”

Charlotte’s dad Gary revealed today would have been his mother’s birthday as he shared his own touching words about the loss.

In a heartbreaking post, 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.

“She had problems in later life with terrible arthritis and challenging mental health, but she never lost her friendly smile and loving nature.”

He added: “Mam, you were so much more than everything.”

Charlotte's fresh heartbreak comes just weeks after her home was burgled which left the TV star terrified.

The frightening ordeal occurred last month when Charlotte was upstairs with Alba in their £1 million Sunderland home.

Her fiancé Jake, 33, revealed on social media that a gang of masked robbers armed with machetes stormed inside their stunning mansion.

The TV personality, who is expecting her second child next month, was rushed to hospital shortly afterwards where it was revealed she had a urine infection.
