Linda Robson was left in tears as she was asked to talk about her friend Pauline Quirke following news of her dementia diagnosis.
Linda and Pauline starred as sisters Tracey Stubbs and Sharon Theodopolopodous, respectively, in the hit BBC One sitcom Birds of a Feather which first aired in 1989.
It was earlier this month (January) that Pauline's husband, Steve Sheen, revealed the 65-year-old actress has been battling dementia - which causes a decline in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills - since 2021 and will "step away from all commercial and professional duties".
And Loose Women panellist Linda spoke out last weekend on her friend's health battle and revealed she has been spending time with Pauline.
