The devastated musician revealed that her heart was “broken” as she opened up about how much she would miss her grandma.

“My beautiful Nanny Ginge, my heart feels so broken I don’t even have the words right now. The most beautiful, kind hearted nanny in the world I feel so proud and so lucky to have shared so many beautiful memories with you,” Jesy penned in the emotional message.

“I’m gonna miss everything about you, you being cheeky and flirting with all the men and telling them to give you a kiss.

She added: “Reggie and Oscar are gonna miss sleeping with you so much. I love you with all my heart nanny go rest with the angels now.”
