At the time she told Metro.co.uk that her sister-in-law had underlying health issues and that her brother was \u2018absolutely devastated\u2019 by her death.<\/p>\n
\u2018When I found out I started to cry and my daughter told me to pack my bags so I am staying with her in Brixton at the moment,\u2019 she shared.<\/p>\n
\u2018My friend\u2019s dad died first, then my brother\u2019s wife died, my uncle died and my good friend from Brixton died, it is all so tragic. What is going on?.\u2019<\/p>\n
First appearing on Gogglebox alongside friend Sandi Bogle, when she left the show in 2016, Sandra was then paired up with her daughter Chanchez Martin.<\/p>\n
However they left the series two years later.<\/p>\n
