She wrote, “I didn’t know whether to share this but it felt weird when I’ve raved about Liam’s work and achievements for the last 15 years.”

Gibbin further said, “I’m heartbroken he never got to see how great he is in this show. He knew he had done a good job, we all told him this when we were at filming, but watching it back, wow!”
