"We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beautiful wee mummy. We kindly ask for privacy as our family grieves during this difficult time."
"Mummy was just 47 when she was diagnosed with Parkinson's, four years older than I am now, and faces dementia, but still amazes me and my family every single day. Everything she has done for me and my four siblings is nothing short of incredible. Sharing caring responsibilities over the years for her has been a privilege and we are so proud to call her our mum."
"It's a hard one because the show was recorded in May so at that time her condition wasn't as severe as it is now, so she's not fit to travel as much. We're trying to do something closer to home so I can't wait to just sit in front of her and say, 'Mummy, what do you want to do, what can we do that you would just love?' God only knows what she's going to say, but I can't wait."
Rachel Duffy confirmed on Instagram that her mother, Anne, has died and requested privacy as the family grieves. Duffy won the latest series of The Traitors alongside Stephen Libby and shared a £95,750 prize pot, receiving £47,875. Anne was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 47 and later developed dementia; Duffy often spoke about caring responsibilities and planned to spend the prize money making memories with her mother. Duffy described Anne as amazing despite her conditions and said entering the show was for her, noting Anne was a big fan. Duffy planned activities closer to home because Anne's condition worsened.
