Emmerdale actress Charley Webb and her brother, Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas, are grieving the loss of their mother, who died on Mother's Day after a 12-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Jamie Lomas, known for playing Warren Fox in Hollyoaks, shared a heartfelt message on social media alongside a photo of his mother. He 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.'
He 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.' Jamie also thanked the staff who cared for her, calling them 'amazing people.'
Charley Webb, best known for playing Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale, has not yet publicly commented. The siblings also share a sister, celebrity makeup artist Cassie Lomas.
Last year, Jamie had opened up about his mother's dementia on her 75th birthday, saying: 'Dementia can be very cruel and very frustrating for family members, but we remember, that she was once like me and you and unfortunately her mind just doesn’t work the same anymore.'
