Dancing on Ice star and radio DJ Adele Roberts has announced the death of her mum, Jackie. The 44-year-old took to Instagram to share that she had dedicated her most recent dance on the show to her beloved mum who passed away at the beginning of January. Adele shared a heartwarming picture of her showing off her skating boots to her poorly mum, as well as a clip of Jackie watching her on the ice.
Adele had appeared emotional as she took to the ice on Sunday with her partner Mark Hanretty, 38, as they performed to Clearly by Grace VanderWaal. But Adele revealed that she had opted not to share that the dance had been dedicated to her mum until she had managed to ‘get through’ the routine. Taking to social media to pay tribute to her late mum, Adele penned: "For you Mum.
Tonight’s performance was dedicated to the memory of my beautiful mum, Jackie Roberts.
"01.09.62 – 04.01.24. "I didn’t want to say anything until I’d managed to get through our routine tonight. So apologies if it seemed I was overly emotional.
"My heart is broken and I miss my mum so much. Saying goodbye to her this week was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. "My mum got to see the start of our routine… and tonight I wanted to finish it in her honour." Adele thanked her family and the many “amazing people” who have supported her through this tough time.
She continued: "Thank you to the whole incredible Dancing On Ice team for guiding me through one of the toughest weeks of my life. Especially you Mark Hanretty." Adele went on to praise her mum for being her "biggest supporter from day one". She continued: "I shall think of you and miss you every day of my life.
