The matriarch, who was born in 1935, initially turned down the chance of appearing on TOWIE alongside her family as she said she wanted to watch television, not be on it.

But she soon changed her mind and became one of the most loved characters on the show.

She once said: 'It's a shame that my Charlie wasn't around to see us all on television. He wouldn't believe it, but it's really lovely.'
