Feltz went on to reveal that her fourth grandchild was recently born. She wrote: "Gosh, we’ve had such a whirlwind of a time in the last couple of days. In the space of 12 hours, Ben lost his beautiful brother Roy at the age of just 47 and about seven, eight hours later, the beautiful Cecily Violet was born. So we have experienced the whole circle of life in less than 24 hours in our family."
