Jamal Edwards left his mother, Brenda, shedding tears of joy when he made a rare appearance on Loose Women to wish her a happy Mother’s Day.
The SB TV creator, who sadly passed away on Sunday at the age of 31, featured on the ITV show back in 2019 when the children of the panel appeared on screens to give surprise messages to their mothers.
Brenda, who has been a Loose Women panelist since February 2019, was astonished when her son was included in a video montage which also saw the children of Andrea McLean, Stacey Solomon and Denise Welch share messages.
Footage showed Jamal singing “Happy Mother’s day” before he shared a touching tribute to his mum.

He said: "Big up my mum on the Mother's Day today. One of the most positive energies I’ve ever come across in my life.
"Even though she been through so much in her life she still manages to smile and bring joy to most rooms."
So Happy Mother’s Day.
Brenda could be seen reacting to her son’s video message at the time looking in absolute shock and disbelief.

She smiled warmly as her son showered her with praise.
Brenda was then asked by Andrea what she planned to do on Mother’s Day that coming weekend.
Wiping away happy tears, she said: “The thing with me with Mother’s Day, for obvious reasons, I just like it when the kids are around. I’m happy with that. Thank you!”
On Monday, Brenda shared her devastation over the death of Jamal.
