Made In Chelsea star Frankie Gaff pays heartbreaking tribute to sister after tragic death

Made In Chelsea star Frankie Gaff took to Instagram on Sunday evening to pay tribute to her sister who has tragically died. The 31-year-old first rose to fame when she joined the popular E4 reality series Made In Chelsea in 2016 where she started a relationship with Jamie Laing. After a turbulent relationship and five series on the show, Frankie left two years later.

Frankie shared a statement with her followers on Sunday evening, as she wrote: "My sister passed away early this morning [red heart emoji]. We will miss her forever but trying to find comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and is hopefully bouncing around up there somewhere, doing what she loved most.

"Gymnastics, being with her friends and family, surrounded by nature, eating terrys chocolate orange or green and blacks almond chocolate. We will miss her infectious, incredibly loud, laugh forever."

Frankie, who is the ex-girlfriend of Jamie Laing added: "Thank you to everyone, people I know and people I don't know who have always messaged to check in on her."

The tragic news of her sister comes just months after the star revealed that she is pregnant with her second child. Frankie announced the special news as she shared a series of adorable photos of her fiance Jamie Dickerson and their son Theo, three.

Her son proudly held up a positive pregnancy test as she rested a hand on her bump. Other photos showed Theo kissing her bump as they enjoyed a day out at the beach.

Fellow Made in Chelsea star Tiffany Watson was one of many to congratulate Frankie, writing: "Yay!! so excited." While another wrote: "Been waiting for this … the signs have been there a while … absolutely brilliant news! Sooooo lush x."

Frankie keeps her relationship mostly private, and it's not known exactly when she got together with businessman Jamie, but he first appeared on her Instagram in November 2020. The pair welcomed their baby in 2021, with Frankie sharing her motherhood journey with her 295,000 Instagram followers.

Their second pregnancy announcement comes just weeks after her partner's romantic proposal during a sun-soaked family holiday in Portugal.

Although Frankie has finally found her happily-ever-after, her love life hasn't always been so smooth, with her drama filled relationship with Jamie Laing documented on Made in Chelsea.

Their relationship experienced many ups and downs before they called it quits in 2017, with Frankie never returning to the show. Jamie has also moved on with fellow former Made In Chelsea star Sophie Habboo and the pair are expecting their first child in the next few months.
