In her heartfelt message, Ms Moffatt described her partner’s mother as “the best Nanna to Jude, the kindest mother-in-law and one of the loveliest people I’ve ever known.”<\/p>\n

The former Queen of the Jungle expressed gratitude for the warm welcome she received at the start of her relationship with Mr Dobinson, writing: “I’ll forever be grateful for all the love, kindness and warmth you showed me from the very beginning, and especially for the love you gave Jude.”<\/p>\n

The tribute also praised Janice’s legacy as a mother, with Ms Moffatt stating: “You raised true gentlemen in both your boys, and that says everything about the incredible woman you were.”<\/p>\n

She concluded: “Sleep peacefully Janice, our Nan Jan.”<\/p>\n

Before long, fans and famous faces rushed to the comments of the post to express their condolences.<\/p>\n

Gogglebox’s Ellie Warner wrote: “Sending lots of love to you all,” followed by a series of love heart emojis.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby penned: “Sending loads of love Scarlett! Prayers to Scott and his family.”<\/p>\n

Ms Moffatt and Mr Dobinson first met through mutual friends more than 15 years ago, though their romantic relationship only began in 2018.<\/p>\n

Their son Jude was born in the summer of 2023, and Mr Dobinson proposed just months later in November of that year.<\/p>\n

In April, the former Gogglebox star revealed she was pregnant again, later confirming the couple are expecting another boy.<\/p>\n

Ms Moffatt has previously spoken about her challenging four-year fertility journey before welcoming Jude, making the news of a second child particularly meaningful for the family.<\/p>\n

The television presenter has said she feels she was “born to be a boy mum” and wanted to give Jude a brother.<\/p>\n

Ms Moffatt has been candid about the difficulties of her current pregnancy, describing the first trimester as “hell” while battling sickness, temperature fluctuations and migraines.<\/p>\n

The star has also experienced unusual cravings this time around, developing an obsession with cheese rather than the honeydew melon she craved while pregnant with Jude.<\/p>\n

She told The Sun: “I want grated cheese sandwiches all the time. I can’t have the pre-grated, it’s too hard, so I’ve got Scott grating me cheese at 11pm.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scarlett Moffatt has shared the devastating news that her fianc\u00e9 Scott Dobinson’s mother, Janice, has died.
