‘Like a feeling that can’t be filled,’ she continued.

‘It brings up feelings that you’ll never have something that other people do, which is having their mum around in those moments and days. But there’s also a moment to celebrate their legacy.’
Elsewhere in the chat Brooke confessed she still felt the loss of her mother as the media star has grown older and more successful.
