The actress said George, the husband of her mother’s sister, caught the virus in hospital and his family was unable to visit him during his final days.
The former Hear’Say singer paid tribute to her ‘amazing’ uncle in her OK! magazine column, saying he was the ‘life and soul of any party’.
She said: ‘You hear about people losing their loved ones during this time and people passing away alone in hospitals and only a few people attending their funerals. But when it happens to you and your family, it really brings this whole thing home.
‘It breaks my heart to think of him being alone in that hospital.’
A warm welcome: She was also greeted with a kiss from Scott

Kym said George had been in a care home before he fell ill and was taken to hospital, meaning his children hadn’t been able to see him for ‘so long’ before he passed away.
Family members sent him video messages which were played to George by nurses before he died, which she hopes provided him with ‘some comfort’ in his final days.
George was close with the star and would often accompany her to her first gigs, pretending to be her bodyguard.
Kym added: ‘My uncle George was an amazing man and I have so many happy memories of him. He was a great guy and the life and soul of any party. Sleep tight uncle George.’
