Linda Robson shares the most tragic news regarding her dear friend Pauline Quirke.

Linda Robson, the star of Birds of a Feather, shared a heartbreaking update on her greatest friend Pauline Quirke, who has dementia. Last month, Pauline’s husband, Steve, announced that the actress will take a vacation from her career. In 2021, she was diagnosed with the degenerative brain ailment.

Linda has supplied an update on Pauline’s sickness as she supports her closest friend and her family throughout this difficult time.

Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke use FaceTime.

According to the 66-year-old Loose Women actor, Pauline’s health has deteriorated.

“I knew about Pauline’s diagnosis for three years, and it has been difficult,” Linda said in an interview with The Express at the TV Choice Awards last night (February 10). I had frequent connection with her husband, Steve, and she is receiving fantastic care.

Even though we have been friends for 56 years, she will not recognize me since she does not remember her grandkids. We use FaceTime regularly, but she doesn’t speak anything. We remain in touch, and I’ll be visiting her next week, she said. Although your support for her is commendable, sharing it might be upsetting.

Linda expressed anxiety that her best friend may not know her when she pays her a visit since she has difficulty identifying her closest relatives. “I’ve noticed a real difference with her; even though we’ve been friends for 56 years, she won’t remember who I am because she doesn’t remember her grandchildren,” the actress told reporters. It’s extremely gloomy.

Pauline is cared for by her family.

While informing Pauline about her health, Steve noted that his wife desires to prioritize spending time with her family.

“We sincerely request your patience and privacy during this challenging time for Pauline and our family. He said, “Pauline simply wants to spend time with her family, children, and grandchildren.” Since her sickness became public, the actress has gotten support from friends and family.

Maurice Gran, who co-wrote Birds of a Feather with Laurence Marks, voiced concern about Linda, revealing that she is having difficulty identifying her family.

“Since the diagnosis, her condition has accelerated,” he informed me. Your heart goes out to her, as she is still just 65. At first, she feared she was losing control. We now realize that she has difficulty recognizing her own family members.

Pauline married Steve in 1996; they had a kid named Charlie. Emily, her child from a previous relationship, is also hers.
