Brenda Edwards says holding son Jamal's hand as he died is vision she 'won't forget' in first ITV Loose Women interview

Brenda Edwards has spoken about her son's sudden death in her first interview with Loose Women co-star and friend Coleen Nolan. The pre-recorded chat, which took place in Coleen's garden at her Cheshire home, aired during Monday's edition of the panel show.

The chat, which comes ahead of Brenda's return to the ITV panel on Tuesday (April 26), saw Brenda speak about Jamal two months after his death, aged 31

I wake up every morning, and there's all his photos in the house and I look at them and said 'Good morning, baby' and 'Goodnight, baby' and I think doing that is what's keeping me going."

Brenda said she feels her son's presence "constantly" before adding: "He’s definitely here," she added. Jamal had left details for his funeral,
