Pauline Quirke's son Charlie has said that he has been 'moved' by the flurry of messages of support he's received as he broke his silence after the Birds Of A Feather star's dementia diagnosis. The actress's husband Steve Sheen revealed on Monday that the star, 65, is set to 'step away from all commercial and professional duties,' following a dementia diagnosis in 2021.
