‘Linda’s legacy extends beyond her incredible achievements in music and entertainment,’ the statement read from her agent. ‘She was a beacon of hope and resilience, sharing her journey to raise awareness and inspire others. ‘Rest in peace, Linda. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.’.
In her final interview, the Loose Women star hadn’t lost her cheeky sense of humour and revealed she was still looking for love ahead of her birthday. Speaking to Hello in March, she shared: ‘If a George Clooney lookalike came along, it would be hard to resist, but if he had the personality of a mouse, I wouldn’t be interested.

Linda was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, undergoing a single mastectomy the following year but in 2017, an incurable secondary mass on her pelvis was discovered. At the time, Linda told The Mirror she would not go through chemotherapy ‘after what Bernie went through’, adding: ‘I’d rather have a couple of months feeling OK instead of the chemo making me feel awful. I want to enjoy the last months of my life to the full.’.
