“I always think it takes a certain soul to be able to reach out to someone who they dont really know that well and speak from the heart but you did that for me and from that moment a close friendship was founded.

“I feel so proud that I was someone that you felt you could trust and that you could speak to at any time about anything.”

She added: “I know what really mattered to you was being loved and being cared for and I just wish you could see how loved you were by so many people.

“You turned up to every show I ever did coming back in to the industry you helped me believe I could go back and do something I never thought I could do again.

“Whether it was a little DJ set, a west-end show or a music gig you were there being the brightest loudest biggest loyalest supporter.

“We spoke often about the people we wanted to become about being strong women about not letting people hurt us about standing up for what we believe in and supporting each other. And Im gonna do my best to be that person that you and I spoke about.

“I’m gonna try and do this for us for all the good things we said and the positive conversations we had you were an absolute star a nugget of gold.”
