Brain cancer was This Morning star Maddy Anholt’s cause of death at the age of 35. She was diagnosed with rare and aggressive brain cancer following the birth of her daughter.

She starred in three episodes of The Emily Atack Show and in two episodes of the TV series Jerk.

Her family said in the statement: “We are overwhelmed with gratitude to the many friends who have upheld us with their love and prayers during this difficult time, as well as the countless nurses, doctors, and the NHS as a whole, who treated her with unfailing dignity and compassion.

“In particular we would like to thank the magnificent team at Seaton Hospice at Home, who are the embodiment of empathy, professionalism and love.”

The heartbroken family concluded: “We ask you not to send flowers but if you feel moved to make a small donation, this fundraiser has been set up to provide for Maddy’s one-year-old daughter, Opal.

“Alternatively, you might consider a contribution to Maddy’s favourite charity, Women’s Aid. Maddy was a powerful advocate for women’s rights and on publication of her debut book.
