The star then took a trip down memory lane, sharing happy memories he has with his dear grandmother.
He said: "98 years and I’m so glad I got to be a part of them and as I lie awake pondering and knowing that she too will pass soon now.
"Perhaps before I wake I pray I smile I shed a tear or two at the memories of Sunday lunch with Yorkshire pudding (she made it the best) and roast potatoes and beans from the allotment and pudding and humbugs and walks in the fields or along the canals and knitted cardigans.
"The love and history I am so grateful for my grandma Dorrie I love you ❤️."
Fans quickly commented their well-wishes beneath the heartfelt post, with one writing: "Send you all my love Her hands so fragile....❤️ Cherish."
