Samuel's touching new tribute to Connie

Samuel Johnson has posted a touching photo in memory of his late sister Connie that shows the cheeky pair posing as children.

In the black and white snap, which was posted to the actor’s Instagram, Connie can be seen giving the camera a devilish closed-mouth grin while playing with what appears to be an old camera role container.

Only half of Samuel’s face can be seen as he stares at the camera stony faced – it’s Connie who this time steals the spotlight.

Samuel captioned the picture: “Sammy Seal and Connie Cottonsocks”.

Scores of fans have commented on the touching picture sending the family their love and prayers.

Connie passed away last week after a long battle with breast cancer. Along with her devoted brother Samuel, she leaves behind a husband and two young sons.
