TOWIE star Ricky Rayment has revealed his sister has passed away at the age of 56.
The 34-year-old paid tribute to popular Essex make-up artist Lisa Kempley after laying her to rest today.
Sharing a picture of her funeral programme, Ricky, who starred on Towie from 2012 to 2015, wrote: “RIP my beautiful sister. You got the send off you deserved. Love you forever.”
Lisa’s death was announced earlier this month, with a statement that read: “We are saddened to announce that our lovely Lisa passed away on Friday 25th July.
“We know she was truly loved by friends and clients alike and therefore want to extend an open invitation to attend her funeral service.
“Irreplaceable wife, mum, sister, daughter, friend and eyebrow queen.”

A number of famous faces rushed to share their condolences, with Chloe Lewis commenting: “So sorry to hear this news, she’s was such a beautiful lady. Life is just so unfair sometimes, sending all my love to her beautiful family.”
Another former Towie star, Fran Parman remarked: “Sending you all so much love. Lisa was just the brightest soul in the room. Beautiful lady inside and out. Thinking of you all. Xxxx”
While Jess Wright, who previously dated Ricky on the ITV reality show, wrote: “I’m so so sorry, sending so much love.”
The news comes shortly after his split from Corrie star Katie McGlynn, who he started dating in 2023 after meeting on a cruise ship.
Despite sparking engagement rumours earlier this year, last month the pair deleted all pictures of each other from their social media accounts.
“Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they’re still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it’s definitely over,” a source told the MailOnline.
They added that they found it “difficult” to maintain a long distance relationship, with Katie in Manchester and Ricky in Essex.
