Linda Nolan, 64, announces cancer has spread to her brain but remains ‘positive’

Linda Nolan has shared a new update about her health, revealing that her cancer has now spread to her brain.

The singer, 64, who first found fame with her sisters in the girl group The Nolans in the 1970s, appeared on Monday’s Good Morning Britain to open up about the plans for her latest treatment.

Speaking to co-hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, she said: ‘Unfortunately, sadly for me, my cancer has now spread to my brain, which I only found out on Monday.’

Describing the diagnosis is ‘very frightening’, Linda acknowledged that there ‘isn’t much help for brain cancer’, but she is going to undergo radiotherapy.

On top of that, there’s a new medication that’s been in use for a year that she’s going to try as a chemo drug, she shared.

Linda outlined that she’s always been open about her treatment, stating: ‘I just want people to know that’s the situation.’

‘I’m positive, I’m not giving up,’ she affirmed, adding that she’s going to end up losing her hair for a fourth time.

One of her sisters joked that she now has some ‘nice wigs’ following her previous cancer treatment.

Linda discovered that the cancer had spread to her brain after suffering three ‘quite nasty falls’, as the disease was affecting her balance.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
