‘Gutted and angry’
One of the main things Hannah and Amy spoke about was what their lives would look like after cancer. The Strictly star was “six months ahead” of Hannah and so she always found herself answering her questions of what was to come.
Amy described her friend as “the most genuine mother and soul”. But what hit her even more, was that Hannah’s twin daughters had “already lost their dad to the horrible disease”.
She ended her tribute by writing: “The news has hit me quite hard. I’m gutted and angry. RIP beautiful Hannah. What a woman!”
