"It was very quick": Children's entertainer dead at 29
Beloved children’s entertainer Chelsie Whibley has died at the age of 29.
The actress, best known for her roles in Dani's House and Sadie J, was open about her battle with cystic fibrosis which caused mucus to build up in her lungs and function at 25 per cent.
Her heartbroken husband Glyn Whibley shared the devastating news in a lengthy facebook post saying how wrong it felt waking up with her not there.
“I cannot put into words the heartbreak I am now feeling without you here,” he wrote.
“Waking up without you by my side just feels so wrong and I’m waiting to realise that this is all just a terrible dream… but sadly I know it is not.
“From the first time we met I knew that this day would come but I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with…and it has been an incredible life…one that I would not change for anything in the world.”
Glyn thanked Chelsie for being his inspiration and for bringing happiness into his life saying he would forever treasure their memories together.
“You were such an inspiration to me and so many others, with such vigour and determination to prove the doctors wrong and keep living on.
“We have made so many memories together that I will treasure for the rest of my life and I thank you for choosing me to share your life with!
“You have brought such happiness to me and you will never know the true amount of love I had for you!”
Glyn wished there was a different way to help Chelsie with all the suffering but knows she’s at peace “looking down on us”.
“You were the love of my life and my bestest friend and I am going to miss you so so much!
“I’m sorry we didn’t get the chance to go away in our caravan more and enjoy more times together… but those trips we did take will be sacred to me!
“You are my absolute world and you will always be in my heart!!
“I will look after your mum and help her through this devastating time along with the rest of your family… but at long last you can finally rest in peace without fear and discomfort.
“I love you so much baby and will never forget you!! I can’t believe I’m actually writing all this but I know you’re still with me in spirit looking after me!!
“Until we meet again my beautiful wife… I love you!!!!!!!! X x x”
