Emma broke the news about the latest state of her health late on Wednesday night, saying: “I found out today the cancer has spread to my brain, I’m not scared, just heartbroken.

“I love my life, my children and all of you my newfound friends.”

“Every mother in Ireland will think of your kids as our own. Love to you and your children.”

Another added: “You are a very special person and I know you did not want to inspire the nation but you have. Heartbroken for you. So enjoy those kids of yours they will carry you forever in their hearts. God bless you all.”

It’s just very sad isn’t it? In some way I just wish it was all over
