Christine, 32, said: "I feel like I'm all over the place today, I feel like I should be so happy we're moving house and this is literally our dream home that we've been building for years.

"I'd give it all to have my mum here, I feel like I've got no one to talk to and I feel like I'm all over the place.

"Everyone is unpacking boxes but my head is just not there because my mum should be there with me and she's still in hospital.

"I haven't seen her for months, I probably can't see her until next summer, the kids keep saying 'I wonder if nanny will come and stay'."

Christine continued to sob and apologised to her followers for getting upset but said she was really struggling.

She continued: "I just want my mum, I want to show mum the house - she hasn't seen it.

"Cancer is just horrible and Covid, it should be the happiest day ever and I don't want to seem ungrateful because I'm from a council estate and it is quite overwhelming moving into this house.

"I feel so so lucky, but I'd give it all to have my mum."
