The 23-year-old singer and his sister Gemma, pictured below, have been “absolutely brilliant” with 81-year-old Brian Selley, who suffers with Parkinson’s disease, a long-term degenerative disorder which affects the nervous system.

Speaking about her children’s efforts, Anne said: “They have been absolutely brilliant. They love him to death and he is so proud of them.”

Anne attended Parkinson’s Symfunny No. 2 event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where she opened up about Brian’s heartbreaking deterioration, and how the pensioner is “trying his best” to get by, day by day.

She told The Sun newspaper: “My father has Parkinson’s and I have been a member of the charity for three or four years now and they have been very helpful with the help that he has had and he is lucky enough to have a Parkinson’s nurse who is local to him and I know not everybody has that.

“He started off with a tremor which was just diagnosed as a tremor in his 70s and then it’s just sort of been, I mean he is 81 and he’ll be 82 this year, so it’s just progressed.

“He goes to weekly exercise classes and he is really trying his best. It’s a slow progression but a couple of years ago we weren’t sure how long he was going to be because he was really quite poorly.”

The 49-year-old brunette also gushed about Harry’s debut solo album and how it made her burst into tears with joy when she heard it.

Asked about the ‘Sign of The Times’ hitmaker and his new amazing record, she said: “I loved it. I loved it. It’s brilliant. It made me cry.

“It’s all good and it’s just a little step forward for him. He has been working really hard so obviously I haven’t seen a massive amount of him but a bit more than before. It’s been nice being able to spend a bit of quality time with him now and again.”
