The teenager was off enjoying a residential stay away from home, and her mum took to her Instagram Stories to reveal her sadness about the separation. The mum-of-five shared an old photo of Petal being carried by Jools' mum following a school Sports Day, and she had several third-place medal stickers on her green shirt.

Petal isn't the star's only child to leave the nest, even if this one is more temporary, as daughters Poppy, 20, and Daisy, 19, are away studying at university.
But the house is far from empty as Jools will still be able to enjoy the company of husband Jamie, alongside the two sons they share together, Buddy, 11, and River, five.
