This is the modest semi in Blackpool where Linda Nolan lived out her final months before her death, MailOnline can reveal. The hugely popular entertainer, 65, had been staying here until last weekend when she became ill with double pneumonia and was transferred by ambulance to a local hospital where she then died.

Linda had lived independently several doors down in the same residential street in the northern seaside town for some years while battling breast cancer. But as her health deteriorated, she moved into sister Anne’s house to be closer to her and to be assisted - only leaving to be given specialist care in Blackpool Victoria Hospital in the final few days before her death.

A statement posted on the Nolan Sisters' social media account yesterday announced Linda’s death, adding that Linda, 65, 'faced incurable cancer with courage, grace & determination, inspiring millions.'. Today we can reveal that she had been living in this £170,000 house close to the famous Bloomfield Road ground of Blackpool FC.

A neighbour told MailOnline today: ‘You won’t find a soul to say a bad word about Linda. She was an absolute angel. She may not have had a Hollywood fortune, but she was a huge star to us. Everyone around her just loved her.’. Other neighbours remembered a 'sweet lady' who made the town proud.
