Her family has shared the sad news of her death, which came "peacefully" with the star "surrounded by family" early on Sunday morning at their home in Scotland.
Her younger daughter, actress Sophie Corbett, said: "We lost my darling Mum at one o’clock in the morning.
"She was an amazing woman, and my sister Emma and I, and all four of her grandchildren, Tom, Tilly, Dylan, and Billy, will love and miss her forever.
"We will be bringing her home to Abingdon, near Croydon, which is where the family lived when my dad was alive."
