Taking to Instagram, Stephen paid tribute to his beloved mother, writing: "Mummy Pat , you were one in a million, took everyone at face value, would share your last fiver with a stranger, the salt of the earth and the absolute centre of our world! Rest in peace mum."
Stephen's post was met with a huge outpouring of love and affection, including a message from fellow Gogglebox star Lisa Baggs.
She said that Pat was 'so funny when you were both on Gogglebox' and sent her love to Stephen.
So many others commented to tell Stephen that they absolutely loved seeing his mum on Gogglebox, saying she was 'such a character' and that the pair were 'brilliant together' on our screens.
Hundreds commented to let Stephen know how sorry they were to learn of his family's tragic loss and tell him she seemed like an 'amazing lady' from what they saw of her on the popular Channel 4 show.
Over the years Gogglebox viewers have seen many beloved personalities come and go.
In late 2021 Linda McGarry announced that her husband Pete had passed away from bowel cancer a few days after he'd been told he had six months to live.
The couple and their son George had been regulars on Gogglebox for years.
In the same year Mary Cook and Andy Michael passed away, while the much loved June Bernicoff passed away in 2020 three years after the death of her husband Leon.
Stephen announced last year that he would be leaving Gogglebox after 10 years on the show, having been a regular and popular fixture on the show since 2013.
His mum Pat had been with him between 2017 and 2019 before husband Daniel joined the sofa for series 13.
A statement announcing their decision to leave said the couple wanted to 'explore life beyond the sofa and leave the show'.
