Heidi informed her fans on Instagram that she had paid her final respects to "Nanny G" yesterday following her passing.

To accompany the heartbreaking announcement, Sugababe Heidi looked back on happy memories as she shared a sweet photo of her alongside her Nan as well as her own two rarely-seen daughters.

The Push The Button singer captioned the post: "Nan, Granddaughter and Great Grandaughters [love heart emoji]."

She went onto add: "My beautiful Nanny G (Age 93) gained her wings last week and today I paid my final respects. Rest peacefully Nan, we love you so much."

In the sweet snap, the popstar had a beaming smile on her face as she sat proudly next to her Nan as her daughter sat on their knees.

The photo will serve as a touching reminder to Heidi's children of the precious time they got to spend with their great-grandmother.

Heidi welcomed her eldest daughter, Aurelia, in 2018, two years after tying the knot to her husband Alex Partakis in a lush Florence ceremony.

The couple were delighted once again in 2021 when they welcomed a second child into the world.

At the time, Heidi shared a photo of herself cuddling her newborn in bed as well as a picture of her little girl wrapped in a blanket and another of her in a baby grow. 

Heidi wrote alongside the pictures: "She's here! We are delighted to introduce you to our little bundle of joy: Athena Veronica Partakis Born at 9.05pm, August 5th 2021, 6lb 1oz of pure love."

The singer first gained notability as a founding member of Atomic Kitten but quit the group before they achieved fame.

She quickly made her mark on the music world however as a member of arguably the most famous line-up of the Sugababes.

Heidi appeared in the group between 2001 and 2011.

Since then, she has appeared as a contestant on Dancing on Ice and even returned to the show rink side earlier this year when she chatted to Holly Willoughby live on air during the show's final about the pressure this year's stars were facing to put on an amazing final skate.
