A 40 stone woman who was too big to leave her own home spoke of her heartbreak at not being able to visit her mother, shortly before she passed away.
Jane, 53, who appeared on last night's episode of Big Body Squad on Channel 5 died following her appearance on the show, after spending years trapped in her Gloucester home.
The show follows the professionals caring after overweight people whose condition made them dependent on the help of others, and Jane admitted that her carer was her only real contact with the outside world.
'I haven't seen my mum for three years, maybe a bit longer, and I still want to see her, so, so bad,' Jane revealed.
Viewers were sympathetic to her plight, saying that Jane was 'stuck in an awful situation'.
