Gogglebox star Angie Kent has shared an intimate look at a profoundly difficult year marked by the death of her father, a protracted battle to secure treatment for her younger brother, and setbacks in her personal quest to become a mother.

Kent's father, Mark, passed away in late April after a battle with a rare blood cancer. The television personality described navigating this grief while maintaining her public profile, stating in a candid interview on the "Something To Talk About" podcast that she would not apologize for how she chooses to express her sorrow. "I don't care if my grief offends you. I'm doing the best I can," she said.

Concurrently with her father's illness, Kent was undergoing IVF treatment. The emotional weight of her fertility journey was compounded when she learned her father was entering palliative care on the same day her embryos arrived in Brisbane. "I'm familiar with the universe having a wicked sense of humour," Kent remarked, adding, "But in that moment, I [thought], 'That's a bit gross.' Why that exact day? I'll never know."

Kent also described a grueling six-month effort to find adequate support and treatment for her younger brother's alcohol addiction. Despite significant financial investment from her family, they encountered repeated rejections in their search for help. "You put all of this money into getting support, and you're turned away," she said. Her brother is now receiving assistance, a development Kent expressed gratitude for, noting, "He's finally receiving help, thank God."

Despite these challenges, Kent remains committed to her dream of motherhood. She began her IVF journey in 2025 and has documented her experiences, including the freezing of 14 embryos. She has previously spoken about the daunting nature of IVF, referencing her existing health conditions such as interstitial cystitis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and adenomyosis.

"I obviously pray that my body can carry a child. My family and I deserve a little breather from hospitals for a minute... unless it's to do with bringing in a baby," Kent stated.

But the 36-year-old has made it clear she has no intention of apologising for how she chooses to grieve
