Linda Nolan has incurable cancer, sister Coleen reveals

Coleen Nolan has revealed that her sister Linda has been diagnosed with secondary cancer.

The singer and performer, 58, who found fame with The Nolans in the 1970s, had been cancer-free after being treated in 2006 for breast cancer.

But Coleen revealed on Loose Women that Linda, from Blackpool, had been diagnosed with secondary cancer, which is "not curable" but is "treatable", after falling up the stairs around three weeks ago.

Coleen and Linda lost their sister Bernie to breast cancer in 2013.

Coleen had been on an extended break from Loose Women because the sisters wanted the news to remain private until now.

Linda's husband Brian died in 2007 following a battle with skin cancer.

Coleen said the diagnosis came just as Linda had turned her life around.
