The Traitors winner Rachel Duffy has announced the death of her mother Anne, who she revealed during the BBC show had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Duffy, from Newry in Northern Ireland, had promised she would spend some of the winnings from the reality game show on her family, and said she was “heartbroken” in a post on Instagram. She said: “We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beautiful wee mummy. Anything you want, let’s go do it’… so yeah, as long as I get to spoil my family, that’s all I care about. “She didn’t get all the twists and the turns but she’s enjoyed watching it.
