Good Morning Britain hosts support Linda Nolan as she confirms she has brain cancer

Linda Nolan has been supported as she shared a "frightening" cancer diagnosis.

The 64-year-old singer told Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley that her cancer had spread to her brain in a heartbreaking interview on Good Morning Britain. She said: "I just want to tell you that sadly for me that my cancer has now spread to my brain, which I only found out on Monday. Obviously, it's very frightening because there isn't much help for brain cancer at the moment.

"Apart from radiotherapy, which I'm going to be having. There is a new drug that has been in use for a year for brain cancer.

"They're going to try me on that with some other treatment. I just wanted people to know that is the situation. I'm not giving up and I'm positive."

Linda appeared on the show to be honest with fans after she was pictured leaving a hospital last week with her sister Maureen helping her into a car. The singer was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2005 but got the all-clear in 2006. In 2017, cancer returned in her hip and spread to her liver in 2020.

A family source told The Mirror: “She had a series of falls a couple of weeks ago, just after her birthday. The family are extremely worried now and are rallying round to support and care for her."

Linda admitted she is on a "scary trip" but vowed to keep fighting the illness. Richard and Susanna praised Linda for her incredible spirit and fans on Twitter rallied to show their support.

Kaz said: "Oh dear god, poor Linda Nolan. We really do take our health for granted"

Kev added: "Poor old Linda Nolan ..really feel for her and her sisters keep fighting it Linda"

Dale said: "So sorry to hear of this Linda"
