This Morning star Juliet Sear has revealed the sad news that her father has died. The TV star, 52, who serves as the resident baker on the ITV show, took to social media to reveal that her father, George, passed away "unexpectedly" in an emotional tribute.
Juliet posted a series of shots of her dad over the years, with the caption: "Sad news... this week we lost my wonderful dad, George, unexpectedly. I can't believe it. The original BanterSaurusRex. Dad was a brilliant engineer and had such a sense of humour, loved music, he was generous and such a character!!
"He's always been there for us and especially for me. By my side from helping me every day when I had baby George and couldn't cope, to helping in my bakery every day. We were there for each other constantly everyday whether it was on FaceTime (thankfully he was good with his iPad!) Or me doing his weekly ocado, even though he could do it himself.
"He liked to do it together just to talk. Even though he would drive me nuts sometimes. I could tell he was fully aware of what was in stock and would get me to check on FaceTime together!"
She added: "I will miss him terribly I can't believe it. He was absolutely devoted to our kids George, Lydia and ruby I am sure our brother Phillip will be saving you a bar stool in heaven, Dad, squashy bondger! Xxx."
Several famous faces shared messages of condolences to Juliet, with Loose Women host Ruth Langsford writing: "I'm so sorry for your loss Juliet...your Dad was obviously a wonderful man. Words feel empty at a time like this but hold your memories of him close...those can never be taken away from you. Love to you and the family."
Dermot O'Leary said: "So sorry for your loss Juliet," whilst Fearne Cotton added: "Sending you so much love."
