‘So in Baby’s honour, and any other soul that has left the planet today, a big farewell kiss to the sky. We will always keep you in our hearts Baby 💔AWx’.

The 40-year-old also shared a sweet photo of the rainbow that she and Robbie could see from their house, that followers could swipe across to see.
