Life has thrown a mix of joy and sorrow at Frankie Gaff recently.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 30, who is expecting her second child with fiancé Jamie Dickerson, shared devastating news over the weekend.
Frankie took to Instagram on Sunday to reveal the passing of her beloved sister, posting a black-and-white photo alongside a heartfelt tribute. No cause of death has been disclosed.
Emotional Tribute to Her Sister
In her Instagram Story, Frankie wrote: “My sister passed away early this morning.
We will miss her forever but trying to find comfort in knowing she is finally at peace and is hopefully bouncing around up there somewhere, doing what she loved most.”
She continued, celebrating her sister’s passions: “Gymnastics, being with her friends and family, surrounded by nature, eating Terry’s Chocolate Orange or Green & Black’s almond chocolate.
We will miss her infectious, incredibly loud laugh forever.”
The Daily Mail has reached out to Frankie’s representatives for comment.
Pregnancy and Engagement Joy
Just days prior to sharing her tragic loss, Frankie had announced her pregnancy and engagement.
She and Jamie, who already share three-year-old son Theo, revealed their happy news during a trip to Portugal.
Frankie shared a series of photos from the holiday, showing off her diamond ring and tender moments with Jamie. In one beachside shot, she looked radiant in a red frilled sundress, beaming as she held up her engagement ring.
Jamie complemented her in a smart white shirt, holding her hand as they posed together.
Captioning the post, Frankie called it “the biggest surprise on our holiday.”
Well-Wishes from Friends and Fans
Fans and celebrity friends flooded Frankie’s posts with congratulations.
Former Made In Chelsea star Lucy Watson commented, “Awww congratulations,” joining many others in celebrating the couple’s happy news.
Life With Jamie and Their Son
Although the exact start of Frankie and Jamie’s relationship isn’t widely known, the couple welcomed Theo in November 2021.
At the time, sources described Frankie as “blissfully happy with her new businessman boyfriend,” praising the couple’s mix of trust, maturity, and fun together.
Frankie’s Time on Made In Chelsea
Frankie first appeared on Made In Chelsea in its 11th season and remained a fixture until Series 15, including summer spin-offs in Ibiza and the South of France.
Her storylines often revolved around her turbulent relationship with co-star Jamie, which ended in 2017.
Afterward, Frankie explored dating again, including brief flings with current star James Taylor and former star Harry Baron, but these relationships didn’t stick.
Her final appearances included clashes with Olivia Bentley, who remains on the show.
Rumors of Frankie quitting emerged in 2018, before Series 15 aired, and she confirmed her departure shortly afterward, with her last scene showing her leaving a pyjama party hosted by Mimi Bouchard.
