Loose Women’s Brenda Edwards reflects on difficult year after tragic loss of son Jamal

Brenda Edwards has shared her appreciation for Loose Women for helping keep her on track over the past twelve months following a difficult year after her beloved son Jamal tragically passed away in February

Brenda Edwards has shared a powerful reflection of the past twelve months, hours after she amazed fans with her performance on Get Britain Singing.

The Loose Women favourite, 53, was praised by judges and viewers of the special ITV show and it seems the entire experience meant a lot to her after an incredibly difficult year.

She posted: “Being asked to take part in Get Britain Singing was an honour as singing and music is a major part of mine and my whole families life.

“There is so much joy to be found in singing, it is very uplifting when I feel weary and it will always provide that bridge for me to find a little peace over troubled water.”

Brenda added that she was grateful she was able to share her moment in the spotlight with her Loose Women pals Judi Love, Kelle Bryan, Linda Robson, Colleen Nolan and Denise Welch. “Thanks to all the audience who voted for us to win that was such a shock!”

In the lengthy post, she also noted the tragic loss of her son Jamal, and a string of health issues which affected her emotionally and stopped her from taking to the stage for the Snow White pantomime in Wimbledon, where she is playing the role of the Spirit of Pantomime.
