Pete Wicks has been left devastated after his nan and best friend Doreen died.
In a moving Instagram post, the ex TOWIE star turned telly presenter, wrong: "I hope you knew how much you were loved.
"It’s taken me days not knowing what to say because no words will ever be able to describe what you meant to me. My heart is broken and I have never felt so lost.
"I have been blessed to have you as my nan but more importantly to have you as my best friend.
"The strength, resilience, love, empathy and compassion you have shown throughout your life is a lesson to us all and without doubt the only good parts of me come from you.
"I hope you knew how much you were loved. Sleep well and be at peace, no one deserves it more. I love you."
Pete has always credited his nan with helping him through tough times alongside his mum.
Pals and fans rushed to support the star with Ex Towie star Danielle Armstrong writing: "So sorry for loss babe xxx"
It has been a tough time for the wild-haired star after losing touch with on off lover Chloe Sims.
Recently she said Chloe said: "There isn't a major reason why. We haven't got a friendship or a relationship - not in a bad way, we just went our separate ways.
"I think moving forward, it's disrespectful to someone I could date or he could date to have all those photos up."
