Barbara Windsor’s widower Scott Mitchell has said he is “deeply hurt” by the backlash to his new relationship with EastEnders actor Tanya Franks.
Peggy Mitchell star Windsor died in 2020 aged 83, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease six years earlier. Mitchell, 62, who married Windsor in 2000, became her full-time carer and met Franks, 58, who played Rainie Cross in the BBC soap, through his fundraising work for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
