CBBC star Chelsie Whibley dies at 30 after battle with cystic fibrosis

CBBC star Chelsie Whibley has died at the age of 30 after battling with genetic disorder cystic fibrosis. Chelsie was rushed to Southampton General Hospital on Saturday and passed away at around 2.45pm, the Mirror reports.

Chelsie had previously been ordered to quarantine indefinitely as she was deemed 'high risk' if she contracted Covid-19. Cystic fibrosis has no cure and causes life expectancy to be cut short for sufferers.

Chelsie previously revealed doctors told her she would live until she was 16. She previously opened up about how she longed for lockdown to be over so she could see her loved ones again.
