People fell in love with Betty after the grandmother was brought on the Jeremy Kyle stage to add some insight to the feud going on between her daughter, Tracey, granddaughter, Lucy, and son-in-law.

But, unfortunately, the woman described by Jezza as the 'warrior granny' has passed away. The TV host paid tribute to her during another episode involving Tracey and Lucy.

He told the audience: "I'm sure you remember one of my most memorable guests on this show, Betty. She was one of my favourites. She was an online sensation."

News of Betty's passing has caused some people to post tributes on social media.

Jezza made Tracey and Lucy watch a video tribute to Betty, which highlighted some of her best moments on the show.

Jeremy told the emotional pair: "What would she be thinking right now, to think you two are on this programme again screaming insults and trading points against each other?

"Why can't you draw a line in the sand in memory of that lady? Luce, whatever your mum did or didn't do, she was there at the end. Tracey, whatever you might or might not think about your daughter, she is a product of you and you are a product of your mother and it comes from her.

"And that lady would have wanted nothing more than to have you two have your damn heads banged together and sort this out. Because she hated the BS, didn't she? So why can't you put it right in a memory people?"

As they made their second appearance on the show, Jeremy introduced them with: "Tracey says her long-standing feud with daughter Lucy has intensified, as Lucy apparently holds Tracey responsible for mum Betty's death.

"Tracey's here to set the record straight and basically tell her daughter to stop the abuse. Let's somehow try and put this right. For more than anything, mum's memory."

But the TV host wasn't having any of it and told the pair to stop their bickering and meet in the middle for a compromise.

Tears were flowing as they were told to admit that they hadn't been perfect mothers or daughters, before confirming they'd give a peace treaty a go to heal their broken relationship.

Jeremy then looked to the camera and said: "I don't know, to be honest, the cynics on this show will say, 'that's not going to work'. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but in [Betty's] memory, at least if we spend a bit of time, maybe there's a chance."
