Our hearts go out to actress Jodi Albert and her family today after the tragic passing of her mum, Eileen.

Jodi's mum was first diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and unfortunately succumbed to the illness on Monday night surrounded by loved ones.

Paying tribute to her 56-year-old mother, the heartbroken star said: "My beautiful little mummy passed away peacefully with her adoring family around her after an 8-year battle with cancer."

Acknowledging her mother's bravery in the face of the illness, devastated mum-of-one Jodi said: "She fought hard and her strength was inspiring."
 


Jodi, who is expecting her second child with former Westlife star Kian Egan, praised Eileen, saying "I will miss her forever and will do my best to be the loving, selfless amazing mother to my children as she was to me."

Jodi and Kian married in 2009 before welcoming son Koa into their lives two years later. 

We are thinking of Eileen's family and friends at this difficult time.
