“9 months ago today, our lives changed forever. I still find it incredibly hard to process what happened. I'm not sure I ever fully will, or even want to,” she wrote. Talking about the show, Nicola shared that she was “proud” to see her brother, Liam, in Building The Band.

She believed that Liam had a natural talent for helping and guiding others, which made him an ideal choice for the role of judge. Nicola added that Liam “cared so deeply about the people around him.

“He wanted to make a difference, and you are lighting up that stage like you were born to do. You were made to be a judge, to guide, to encourage, and to let your voice be heard. Watching you in this show, I’ve never been more proud.”

She concluded by writing, “I got to witness you shine so bloody brightly, but it's also allowed me to still feel close to you. I love you so much, and I miss you even more. I hate that this happened.”

Nicola also shared two pictures of Liam from the show, along with her emotional tribute.
