New mum Charlotte Crosby 'devastated' by family loss as she takes time away with family

Charlotte Crosby is said to be 'devastated' by family loss as she takes time away from social media.

The new mum's nana died just weeks after she welcomed her first baby, Alba Jean, who was named after her grandmother.

It's thought that the former Geordie Shore star is taking some time away to spend time with her family as she gets through the difficult time.

The 32-year-old shared the sad news on her Instagram page where she posted a video of her nana Jean.

Alongside the clip, Charlotte wrote: "My little nana Jean. Heartbroken doesn’t come close to how I’m feeling. The love of my life and the light of my life. From a little girl until now I have adored every inch of you. My brave strong nana. My beautiful nana. You were there when I entered the world and I was there when you took your last breath and left. I don’t think my world will ever be the same without you.

"I named my daughter after you for a reason nana I don’t think you will ever truly know how much I loved and adored you and still do.

"So many memories and this video is just a glimpse into them and it’s where I can constantly watch and relive them, it’s where I can come to see you anytime I want what I would give for one more day one more hour with you even I miss you nana I hope to see you again one day because I already yearn to hear you say 'hello my darling' when I walk in to see you please hold your loved ones tight because life is truly truly precious."

"It's bittersweet because she's in her baby bubble and is absolutely loving being a mum, but is going through a tough time."
