Trinny Woodall reveals her 'darling mummy' Ann has passed away aged 90

Trinny Woodall has revealed her mother Ann has passed away aged 90 following a battle with vascular dementia.

The fashion guru, 56, took to Instagram on Monday evening to share the heartbreaking news alongside a montage of images in tribute of her late parent. 

'Darling Mummy 1930-2020', the grieving star captioned her post, alongside a red heart emoji. 

Rita Ora's psychiatrist mum Vera, 56, who experienced similar trauma in June when her mother Fatmush Bajraktari died, shared her support as she commented: 'Sooooo sweet.' 

Fashion editor Erica Davies also said: 'Oh Trinny, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love to you all', while beauty director Sarah Jossel added: I’m so so sorry Trin. Sending you love and strength ❤️.' (sic)

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of progressive neurological disorders, that is, conditions affecting the brain.

There are many different types of dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. Some people may have a combination of types of dementia.

On her mother health's battle, the This Morning star told You magazine last year: 'My mother has vascular dementia. When I visit her and she’s just sitting in a chair unable to move independently, it makes me think about what will happen to me in the next 30 years. 

It seems as though you get to a stage where it’s too late to make your own decisions because your body has done that for you. I want to be able to keep making those choices.'

 WHAT IS DEMENTIA? 

Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a range of progressive neurological disorders, that is, conditions affecting the brain.

There are many different types of dementia, of which Alzheimer’s disease is the most common.

Some people may have a combination of types of dementia.

Regardless of which type is diagnosed, each person will experience their dementia in their own unique way.

Dementia is a global concern but it is most often seen in wealthier countries, where people are likely to live into very old age.
