Scarlett Moffatt has opened up to her followers about the “hardest month” of her life following two devastating de@ths within the family. The former Gogglebox favourite announced last month the heartbreaking news that her grandfather had passed away.
Taking to social media, she wrote: “Unfortunately, more sad news for our family this week. My grandad Moffatt has sadly passed away. Me, Scott and all our family really appreciate all of the love and kindness you’ve shown us following the loss of Janice and now my grandad. Thank you so much.” The distressing news came just days after Scarlett revealed that her mother-in-law, Janice, had also passed away. At the time, she wrote on Instagram: “My heart is broken for Scott and all of his family at the loss of his mam Janice.
“You were the best Nanna to Jude, the kindest mother-in-law and one of the loveliest people I’ve ever known. I’m so upset that you won’t get to meet your second grandson, but I know you will be watching over us all.”
Now, Scarlett has updated her social media followers on how she and her partner, Scott Dobinson, have been coping with their grief in recent weeks.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here winner shared photographs of herself and Scott throughout the years, concluding with an image of the couple alongside their son, Jude.
“It’s been the hardest month of our lives so grateful we have each other,” Scarlett shared. “I now understand that grief is really just love. It’s all the love you still want to give, but no longer can.
“I’ve known @scottdobby since I was 17, and I still can’t quite believe the life we’ve built together. When grief arrives, it has a way of making you hold on to each other even tighter.
“Amongst the sadness, we’re finding little pockets of joy, mostly thanks to Jude and bump and looking at old photographs and memories made x Sending so much love to everyone who knows this feeling. Be gentle with yourselves.”
The devastating double bereavement followed Scarlett and her partner’s announcement that they were expecting their second child together.
Revealing the news, the pair were accompanied by their son, Jude, who clutched a personalised newspaper bearing a headline which read: “Baby Dobinson another miracle coming soon!”
Accompanying the post, the couple said: “We honestly can’t believe we’re writing this… After everything, we feel unbelievably lucky to be able to say… our family is growing.
“One little miracle gave us Jude, and now he’s going to be a big brother. And if there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that he is going to be the most amazing big brother. We are so grateful, so excited, and still a little bit in shock… Our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible.”
