Actress Pauline Quirke was sadly diagnosed with dementia in 2021. However, she chose not to reveal her condition to the public until January this year, when an announcement was made by her husband, Steve Sheen.
The Birds of a Feather actress is 65 years old, and when a person develops dementia before the age of 65, this is referred to as "young-onset dementia". Sadly, presenter Fiona Phillips has been similarly diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's.
