Charlene on losing her aunt during Covid
Charlene previously opened up about another loss she endured during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She lost one of her aunts in 2020 and Covid rules were in place when she attended the funeral.
During a heartbreaking segment on Loose Women, Charlene broke down as she spoke about sticking to the rules while the government didn’t.
She said in January 2022: “My family stuck by the rules. We had to bury family members without being able to hug each other.
“I stood by the graveside as grave diggers were filling that grave and watching my cousin was in floods of tears and not being able to hug her because we were following the rules.”
Charlene also discussed the funeral during her appearance on I’m A Celebrity in November last year as she came face-to-face with MP Matt Hancock.

In 2021, Hancock resigned as Health Secretary after his affair with then-aide Gina Coladangelo was exposed.
She told him: “I get that you fell in love, I understand all of those things, but sorry for a lot of families like mine doesn’t really cut it.”
