Lynda Bellingham

After 14 months of treatment, she has now decided to stop having chemotherapy in order to spend one last Christmas with her family. Tumours have spread to her lungs and liver - meaning that she has just months left to live.

There's Something I've Been Dying To Tell You by Lynda Bellingham is out on October 9 at £20
