Linda Nolan gives major cancer update
Linda Nolan has revealed the tumours in her brain have "shrunk a little".
The 65-year-old singer was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 before getting the all-clear a year later, but in 2017, the disease had spread to her brain, bones and liver, and Linda has been battling ever since.
But during a recent appearance on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', she said: "My scan showed that there’s no progression in the disease in my bones and liver, and the tumours in my brain have shrunk a little. That was a day before my birthday.
"We had a party - either way we were going to have a party. But it was good news, so we really had a party."
Linda was also asked about Catherine, Princess of Wales' recent announcement that she was being treated for cancer, and insisted people who had mocked her health previously needed to apologise to her.
She said: "Of course they should say sorry. But, you know, sorry is an easy word to say sometimes and they may be doing it because other people are doing it.
"They should never have even thought it in the first place, to put down lies and horrible words. Sorry doesn’t cut it sometimes."
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' alum – who lost her sister Bernie Nolan to breast cancer in 2013 - then reflected on the Duchess' decision to disclose her condition.
She said: "I think she did right. I think we all wondered what type of cancer it was. I think she did well, in the fact that she came out and told us when she didn’t have to.
"Who says they have to tell us their life story? They are doing their jobs.
"If she wants to keep it secret and her treatment secret, then that’s how she’s going to handle it and good luck to her."
