The question of who was George Armstrong’s wife often comes up when the former Grange Hill actor’s name comes up. He wrapped his life in privacy, but from our findings, he was probably never married but had a very close relationship with Jacqueline Leaders. He also didn’t have any children, but at his death (caused by Leukemia) on July 11, 2023, he was survived by his brother Adam Armstrong, his sister-in-law Kerris Armstrong, and two nephews.
Armstrong, who became famous in the 1980s for playing Alan Humphries in Grange Hill, left the acting scene in 1989. Yet, his name remained relevant for his contribution as an English actor. Sadly, he died at the age of 60 after about six years of battling cancer. In any case, here is what to know about the love life of the actor.
How Would You Like to Know About the Women and (Maybe) Men that George Armstrong Fell in Love With?
As revealed earlier, the London-born actor did not like to state anything about his love life. Nevertheless, it did not mean that he did not have any relationship.
He kept most of his relationship private. Yet, we have made an interesting finding that he shared a close relationship with Jacqueline Leaders – a woman who may have worked in Grange Hill. She mostly comments on his post and adds the caption “X,” which means kisses in chats.
Regardless, there is no confirmation that the two may have had anything romantic connection (significantly because Jacqueline often adds “x” to several of the comments and posts of others).
In another scenario that may have prompted a relationship, he reported in 2016 that a “crazy girl made me climb all the top of the building… – in Alhaurin el Grande”. The town is located in Spain, and it leaves questions as to whether he was on vacation with the unknown lady.
Apart from that, and since there is no actual knowledge about his sexuality, we may as well explore the men who were close to him.
He had a good relationship with fellow Grange Hill actor Suggs. He was also friends with the late actor and Grange Hill actor Mark Farmer. Mark, who died in 2016, had helped George through the first few series of the BBC film.
He Never Had Children but Had a Beautiful Dog
George did not have any children but had two nephews. He seemed to have had a close relationship with the boys.
Moreso, the former actor had always had a thing for dogs, and around 2018, he adopted one. He lived most of his last years with the dog.

George Armstrong’s Brother was a Scriptwriter and an Actor too
Adam Armstrong is George’s only sibling. He is the younger brother of the actor, and from what we have gathered, he is an author as well as a scriptwriter, and in general, he spent over 50 years in showbiz.
He is also the author of Luvies, Sweeties, and Darlings!
Attractively, IMDB reports that he was also featured as an actor in Grange Hill. He played the role of Michael in the 16th season, episode 14, in 1993. This was long after his older brother left the series.
Away from his career, Adam is married to Kerris Armstrong, and the couple share two sons.
