But in March 2017, she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer which was identified after it spread to her hip, following a fall. Heartbreakingly, the 65-year-old last year revealed her cancer had spread to her brain. Despite the difficulties, Linda has remained as positive as she can as she revealed she's been able to enjoy some festive activities including seeing her older sister Maureen in panto, who is starring in Snow White.
