Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas has opened up about the profound grief he continues to feel following the death of his father in 2023, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Two years have passed since Jamie said his final goodbye, but the pain remains as raw as ever. Speaking candidly, the actor admitted that losing his father has left a lasting void in his life — one that time has not been able to heal.
“It’s still incredibly painful,” Jamie shared. “No matter how much time passes, there are moments when I expect to hear his voice or see his smile. Then reality hits, and it’s like losing him all over again.”
Jamie’s father had fought cancer with remarkable strength and determination, inspiring not only his family but also those who knew his story. For Jamie, those memories are a bittersweet reminder of the man who shaped him, supported his career, and was his constant source of encouragement.
Friends and co-stars have rallied around Jamie over the past two years, offering their support as he navigates life without his father. While he admits the grief is something he will carry forever, Jamie also honours his dad’s memory by focusing on the lessons he learned from him — resilience, kindness, and never giving up.
“I’ll never stop missing him,” Jamie said. “But I’ll also never stop making him proud.”
The Hollyoaks community and fans have continued to show their love for the actor, sending heartfelt messages and reminding him that he is not alone in his grief. For Jamie, the journey through loss is ongoing — but so is the love for his father, which remains unshakable.
