Phil Lynott. I remember feeling almost angry at him because it seemed like such a waste. I still love Thin Lizzy.

For me it was John Smith. I so liked his politics and was genuinely a gentleman, I just feel as a country we lost so much.

Anyone who had young kids, i guess it's the realisation that money and fame means nothing and a remembrance to cherish all we have.

David Bowie. His death really shook me, and now 10 years larer I feel still in mourning.

Alan Rickman: wonderful voice, brilliant actor. His portrayal of Severus Snape was iconic, in my view. His roles were so varied, great character acting, I would love to have seen him play Scrooge! Died aged 70 which is not old these days.

Victoria Wood: fun Extremely talented as a stand up comedian, writer, comic and straight actress. Love her sitcom Dinnerladies and her drama Pat and Margaret. Her song Let’s Do It makes me laugh every time! Aged just 60 when she died, only 2 years older than me!

Caroline Aherns death was very sad, and sounded lonely.
I can't honestly say there is a celebrity death I haven't gotten over though.
They are not part of my life.
