X Factor’s Emma Chawner left heartbroken as she reveals father Philip has tragically passed away less than a year after mum Audrey amid bitter family feud: ‘I have nobody left’
As I delve into the life story of Emma, a woman who has faced her share of adversities with resilience and grace, my heart is filled with admiration for her strength and spirit. Despite the numerous obstacles that life has thrown her way, she continues to rise above them, displaying an indomitable will to live and love.
Emma Chawner, famously known from X Factor and Britain’s Fattest Family, shared the sad news that her father, Philip, has sadly passed away. This unfortunate event comes just under a year since she lost her mother, Audrey.
Heartbroken Emma, 34, revealed her beloved dad had died of a heart attack aged 69 and that she was now desperately seeking funds to help pay for his funeral.
It comes after Chawner matriarch Audrey ‘passed peacefully in her sleep’ aged 73, in January.
Emma, once a contestant on ITV’s talent show alongside her sister Samantha in 2009, but currently estranged from her due to family conflicts, expressed that she has recently lost both of her parents and her cherished pet dog. Now, she feels as though she has no immediate family remaining.
Emma’s GoFundMe statement reads: ‘I am Emma Chawner, and I have set up this GoFundMe page because my father passed away on December 15th, 2024. He suffered a fatal heart attack in the hospital. My dad was an extraordinary man, kind-hearted, considerate, and deeply loved. I miss him dearly.’
I would be incredibly grateful for any assistance with the funeral expenses, as at this moment, it’s quite challenging financially and emotionally. I want my father to have a fitting farewell, and every bit of help, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Thank you in advance for your kindness, as I recently lost my mother in January this year.
Additionally, the day following my mother’s departure, I find myself without any family members who are acquainted with me. Normally, I dislike seeking assistance, but in this instance, I am compelled to do so because I have no other options left.
After the girl made an appearance on X Factor, the entire family was featured collectively on the docuseries titled “Britain’s Fattest Family,” where cameras documented their journey in trying to shed pounds.
In March, Samantha announced that she had married her longtime companion, Matthew Parkinson. However, due to an ongoing family dispute, neither her father nor her sister were present at the wedding.
The wedding occurred only two months following the heartbreaking death of her mother, whom Samantha confirmed they had made up with prior to her passing.
Samantha, who had distanced herself from her family following her move, has disclosed that it was her husband Matthew who persuaded her to make a visit to Audrey during her final moments.
Speaking to the Reflection: “I was taken aback because she was extremely slim and unable to see or talk, yet she could feel me. I expressed my love for her, and she returned the gesture by touching my hand. It seemed as though we had found understanding in our silence, and I felt a sense of reconciliation with her.
Samantha asserted that she wasn’t allowed to attend her mother’s funeral, and since her father didn’t attend her wedding, a neighbor walked her down the aisle instead.
I had the pleasure of having 100 guests gracing my event, all while the melodious tunes of Shania Twain’s “From This Moment On” serenaded the air, signaling the entrance of the beautiful bride into the venue.
Since 2019, Samantha and Matthew have been together as a couple. Their journey began when they met on a dating platform. Regrettably, they’ve faced three heart-wrenching miscarriages during their relationship.
In a moment that left me shattered, I faced the devastating loss of my babies. Yet, amidst the sorrow, there’s an undercurrent of hope for what tomorrow may bring. Beyond this experience, I am honored to be a stepmom to Matthew’s trio of wonderful children whom we get to spend time with once a month. And in our home, we’re also blessed with a one-year-old French bulldog named Cleo, who brings us joy every day.
TopMob contacted Emma for comment at the time.
Initially, Emma competed solo on The X Factor in 2007. Later, she appeared again with her sister in 2009, facing more teasing together.
Head judge Simon Cowell accused Audrey and Phillip of giving their daughter ‘false hope’ after she’d failed to make the cut and they stormed into the audition room.
The jobless family made an appearance on both The Chawners’ Last Chance and Lorraine Kelly’s Big Fat Challenge, hoping to transform their poor eating habits and improve their overall health.
As well as appearances on The Jeremy Kyle Show and Nightmare neighbours Next Door.
In an Instagram post last January, Emma shared that her mother had tragically passed away, finding peace in sleep.
Next to a photo of her mom, Audrey, Emma penned down: ‘I wanted to share with everyone that my beloved mother passed away peacefully during the night, around 4am.’
People expressing their sympathies and encouragement swiftly filled the comment section with messages, following her loss.
As a devoted admirer, I too paid homage to her, expressing to The Sun, “She was an exceptional woman – she adored her television shows, cherished her animals, and had a knack for a hearty chuckle.
‘Her favourite TV programmes were Emmerdale and EastEnders.
On Tuesday at 11am, my beloved pet, the dog, also left us. The day before, my mother had departed. In the evening of the same day, I whispered to her, “If you can hear me, please take Ruby with you.
In addition, Emma expressed heartfelt admiration for her ‘wonderful’ and ‘compassionate’ mother in a tribute posted on a GoFundMe fundraiser established for the funeral expenses.
‘My mum was lovely caring respectful lady and I miss [her] so much,’ she wrote in the description.
