Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear has been diagnosed with dementia, her husband has revealed. In a statement, Scott Brand said the 81-year-old actress has been suffering from forgetfulness before.
Medical help was sought and the TV legend was diagnosed with dementia, reports the Mirror. The pair married in 2007, and the news has left her husband "heartbroken".
Scott said he and his 'darling' Julie are both 'heartbroken' but coming to terms with the news and have accepted the condition would get 'progressively worse.' Scott, 55, said he had decided to speak out as Julia is often approached by fans which can lead to her becoming confused.
