TOWIE’S Shelby Tribble has been left heartbroken by the sudden death of her grandfather.
The reality TV star posted a moving tribute to her beloved “Grandy” on Instagram.
A devastated Shelby wrote the words of a poem for her granddad.
It read: “It’s broken our hearts in two,
“But heaven needed an Angel,
“And the one they picked was you.”
The Towie star paid tribute to him and the brilliant great-grandfather he had been to her baby Abel.
She said: “I can’t even put into words how heartbroken I feel.
“Our world will never be the same without you in it… I’ll forever feel proud and lucky to call you my grandad and great grandad to our darling Abel.
“You really are one in a million, a true gentleman, your smile was made of sunshine and heart was solid gold.
“I will cherish your love and memories forever and ever. I love you Grandy I’ll always be your bustle.”
Shelby joined the cast of Towie for the 22nd series in March 2018.
She quickly got together with Pete Wicks, but the pair called an end to their relationship in September 2018 following a series of emotional rows.
Shelby got together with Billie Mucklow’s brother Sam afterwards.
The former Miss GB and her fiancé, 29, welcomed their first child together last November and named him Abel Ashley.
