A grandmother who shot to TikTok fame for posting comedy videos with her granddaughter has sadly died at the age of 91.
Norma, who amassed more than 2.7 million followers on the app with her granddaughter Jess, 32, died on June 5, her family announced yesterday.

In a post across their social media platforms on Monday June 9, it was announced Norma passed away peacefully aged 91, as the family paid a heartfelt tribute to her and said they had 'lost their rock', reports the Manchester Evening News.
"05/06/2025 the day our family lost our rock, our everything, our beautiful, precious, perfect lady," the post read. "We are all truly devastated and our lives will never be the same.
"We want you all to know that Nan fell to sleep peacefully, surrounded by all her family, she was full of love and had the most beautiful care.
"If anyone deserves a place in heaven, it's you Nanny Norma. Social media and our community online made Nan's last years so incredibly special, her cup was full and in her own words she 'lived such a wonderful life'.
"91 years was never going to be enough and she has left the biggest hole in all of our hearts. Reunited with her husband and family, until we meet again, our queen."
Celebrities and fans alike rushed to pay tribute in the comments, as comedian Dawn French wrote: "Oh. I will miss her so much. I can't begin to imagine how much you will. All love."
