Her husband, Ashley Pitman, confirmed her death to the media, saying his wife passed away in the early hours of Wednesday at The Hospice in the Weald in Kent with her loved ones by her side.

"I'd like to thank them and her dear, loving friends, from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support we received over the last year. Without which Rebekah and I would not have been able to cope," the grieving husband added.

In her weekly column for the Daily Mirror, Gibbs detailed the moment she discovered the life-changing lump that was "one that will be etched on my memory forever".
"I close my eyes, and I am right back there, in front of the TV, feeling petrified as I desperately run my finger above my baby bump and under my breast, willing the lump to disappear," she wrote at the time. "That crushing fear has stayed with me. It's with me every day."
