Amy Willerton pens heartfelt message to disabled brother Ross as she shares beaming snap

Amy Willerton wrote a heartfelt message to her disabled brother Ross on Monday, claiming he “inspired” her every day in an Instagram post.

The 30-year-old model shared a photo of the pair beaming from ear to ear, before praising the 28-year-old in her caption.

Ross has an extremely rare condition called mosaicism, where his cells have a different genetic makeup. He has an extra chromosome and has the mental age of a one-year-old. Ross also suffers from severe autism.

The TV personality wrote: ‘You’re not like everyone else. You don’t feel obligated. You are not polite. Rules, manners, fear – just don’t exist.

‘If you don’t like someone, you walk away – you close the door. You don’t care. But when you laugh, you laugh from the bottom of your belly.

‘When you cuddle, it is of the purest form of love. If you sign to tell me you love me, I know it’s for no other reason than you.

‘You will always be the pure truth to me. The world can learn so much from you.

“I know you’ll never know I wrote this for you, but you inspire me every day Ross to make fun of me, face myself, be with myself, accept myself.

‘I am so grateful for your little brother, my greatest teacher ♥️.’

In November 2020, Amy revealed her grief at not being able to see her brother since March.

The mum-of-one took to Instagram to explain why, saying she believes ‘young people in care homes’ have been forgotten during the pandemic.

Amy hopes her family will be reunited for Christmas because she misses him so much.

She wrote: ‘I want to share with you about a group of people that I truly believe have been forgotten during this #pandemic and that are young adults in care homes.

“Those that are not considered high risk and yet meet the same strict measures that have been put in place in all social care.

“None of my family has been able to see my brother since March. So these zoom meetings are the only contact we have with him.’

She continued: ‘While garden gatherings were possible at one point, if Ross came within 6 feet of us, he would be quarantined immediately for 2 weeks.

“Because he has the mental capacity of someone Demy’s age, it’s impossible to explain to him that he can’t touch us.

And he loves his walks, he loves going out, so would never want to take that away from him :(…

“There are so many fucking unfair, crazy scenarios in this whole saga that show more and more how our society can only see the status numbers and not the individual.”

She concluded: ‘So many who feel alone in their struggle. I hope something changes soon to recognize this and look at individual cases.

“So our Ross can finally come home for Christmas. I don’t like to complain.

“I know how lucky I am… but we all miss him so much. Just feel very helpless to help x #theforgotten.’
