Linda Nolan has shared a heartbreaking health update with fans as she announced her cancer has spread to her brain.
The star, who found fame as one fifth of The Nolans, first learned she had breast cancer in 2006. Appearing on Monday's instalment of Good Morning Britain, the Irish singer told Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid that while her cancer has spread, she vows to make the most of every day.
She said: "Unfortunately, sadly for me, my cancer has now spread to my brain, which I only found out on Monday."
Linda, 64, added that while there "isn't much help for brain cancer" she will undergo radiotherapy treatment. The former popstar said that she’s always been open about her treatment, stating: "I just want people to know that’s the situation."
"I’m positive, I’m not giving up," she added. Linda revealed she’s going to end up losing her hair for a fourth time, but laughed, telling viewers that one of her sisters pointed out she has nice wigs following her previous treatment.
"But there is a new drug, which has been in use for a year, for brain cancer, and we're going to try me on that as a chemo drug with some other treatments.
"I've always been honest and I just wanted people to know that's the situation and I'm not giving up, I'm positive. I'm going to lose my hair, again, for the fourth time. My sister said: 'At least you've got some nice wigs now.'
"As usual, my amazing family – I’m back living with my sister Denise and her partner Tom and Maureen has been looking after me for the last two weeks, just with balance issues, getting everything," she continued.
"I've bought a wheelchair, we're getting stuff ready for the inevitable really. It's a scary trip to be on this one."
