Emmerdale Amy Nuttalls mum dies from brain tumour just months after diagnosis
Emmerdale star Amy Nuttall announced that her mum has passed away from a brain tumour.
The actress, who starred on the ITV soap as Chloe Atkinson from 2000 until 2005, shared the devastating news on Instagram in a heartbreaking tribute to her beloved mum, Elaine. The 41-year-old shared a selection of snaps with her mum, revealing to her followers that her death came just four months after her diagnosis.
The Downton Abbey star, who recently split from husband Andrew Buchan for the second time, penned: "My heart is beating loudly whilst I write this. Yesterday I said goodbye to my beautiful dear mummy. She was diagnosed in July with a glioblastoma (grade 4). To say it was the biggest shock would be an understatement.

"Together with my wonderful family, we helped care for her to the end where she died in my arms as I lay beside her on 30/10/23 at 5.05pm. Amy continued: "She humbled us all with how she handled this cruel diagnosis… never complaining, always smiling and bringing her daft humour to the fore every day.
"Mum, you were my rock. Always. My best friend. I’m not sure how I’m going to do life without you but I know you’ll always be with me to carry me through as you always did."
She signed off the emotional tribute with: "Thank you mummy… you gave me the best days I ever had." The tragedy comes just three months after the breakdown of Amy's 11-year marriage to Andrew, 44.

In February, it was reported the Broadchurch actor had an affair with his Better co-star Leila Farzard. Amy, who shares two children with her ex-husband, decided to take him back under the condition he sticks to certain rules.
These included weekly date nights and complete access to each other's phones. But just a few months after their reconciliation, it was reported that Amy had "kicked Andrew out" once again and that their marriage was over for good.
A source told The Sun: "It took a lot for Amy to give the marriage another chance but she thought it was worth one final roll of the dice. There is no suggestion he has cheated again, but as far as she is concerned this is it. She is obviously gutted but also accepts that their time together has come to an end."
