Billie Faiers has paid an emotional tribute to her beloved Nanny Wendy.
The Dancing On Ice star’s grandmother passed away last week and Billie missed Sunday’s show (January 31) because of the family bereavement.
Now she has taken to Instagram to pay heartfelt tribute to Wendy, whose passing came as a complete shock to Billie and sister Sam.
What did Billie Faiers say about Nanny Wendy?
Billie posted two videos of her grandmother in the Maldives, singing and dancing at her beloved granddaughter’s wedding.
The mum of two shared: “My beautiful Nanny Wendy.

“I struggle to understand why you have been taken from us so soon.”
Underneath the videos, she continued: “All I can hold onto in my heart are the many amazing memories with you Nanny and this one has to be one of my favourites that I will cherish forever.
“Here you are in the Maldives just two days before my wedding, singing your favourite song, only you could capture a crowd like this my precious Nanny Wendy.”
In the video, Nanny Wendy can be seen performing the Patsy Cline classic Crazy.
