Last month, Phillip announced the heartbreaking news that his mum had passed away at the age of 88.

Phillip shared a snap of himself and his mum to his Instagram at the time.

“Today, at 3pm and after a heartbreaking weekend, my magnificent mum decided it was time to go to her beloved Brian,” he captioned the post.

“Over three days, we held her, loved her, hugged her and said everything that needed to be said,” he then continued.

“She was calm, peaceful, beautiful and dignified. I will forever be proud and privileged that she was my mum. Our eternal thanks to the paramedics, Treliske A&E and critical care team who have been, in the past and this weekend, my mum’s and our angels,” he then said.

“Your love and care has been our saviour.”

Phillip then added: “I love you Mum, forever.” He then went on to share several snaps of his mum. He also posted a picture of his mum and his late dad.
