CBBC Star Dies

CBBC star Chelsie Whibley has died after a long battle with cystic fibrosis, with her family paying tribute to the talented actress.

Chelsie, 29, died after fighting with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body.

Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery.

Chelsie’s heartbroken husband Glyn, paid tribute to his wife calling her the “absolute love of my life.”

Glyn said:

“I’m afraid this is the hardest thing I have ever had to write.

“This morning Chelsie took a rapid turn for the worse and became unresponsive. She was rushed to Southampton General Hospital.

“It is with deepest regret that I have to inform everyone that our dearest beautiful Chelsie sadly passed away this afternoon at 2.45pm.

“It was very quick and she was not in any pain. I know you will all want to send your condolences but we ask to please limit it to comments below in this very distressing time.

“To my gorgeous inspiration wife we will love you always.”
