Alison Hammond announces her dad's death with heartbreaking tribute

Alison Hammond has paid tribute to her father, who died in Jamaica last week.

The TV presenter said she has been left with a "sense of loss and emptiness" after his death.

The Big Brother star posted on Instagram to announce her dad Clifford's death, with fans quickly posting messages of support.

Birmingham Live reports she wrote: "This is my real Dad Clifford Hammond who passed away last week in Jamaica.

"I’m saddened that I won’t be able to make his funeral and saddened that he wasn’t part of my life as much as I would have liked but I still have a sense of loss and emptiness.

"Sleep well Daddy, love leaves a memory no on can steal. RIP."

Dr Ranj, Lisa Snowdon and Paul Brunson were among the stars to reply with love hearts and condolences.

Helen Flanagan also posted an emotional response to the Instagram upload.

The mum-of-one went viral last week as she fought back tears during a touching speech on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Alison's speech on Black Lives Matter came 24 hours before 4,000 people protested peacefully in Birmingham.

The mum spoke to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield over the death of George Floyd, something she said "hurt to the pit of the stomach".

Alison's heartbreaking words on This Morning were met with widespread praise.
