Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas shared a heartbreaking message online after his beloved mother died on Mother’s Day. Jamie, who’s sister is Emmerdale actress Charley Webb, shared that their mother passed after a ’12 year battle with Alzheimer’s’, before thanking everyone who has cared for her.
Alongside a sweet image with his mum, Jamie wrote: “After a 12 year battle with Alzheimer’s, she finally decided it was time to leave us. For anyone who knows what it’s like to have someone with this awful illness, you will know that you lose them not once but twice. Our mum was always so strong and to watch her over the years slowly turn into someone who is just a shell of who they once were is very difficult to take and watch.”
Jamie continued: “You are now at peace mum and we love you and we will miss you so so much. You were the first person to love me before the world even knew I existed. Good night mum R I P”.
