Linda Nolan has had a stairlift fitted - and she is now "early for everything".
Linda Nolan loves her new stairlift
The ex ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star - who recently revealed the stage three breast cancer she was first diagnosed with in 2005 has spread to her brain, after it reappeared in 2017 - didn't ever think she would enthuse with “excitement” over the installation of a stairlift in her 71-year-old sister Denise’s home, but the day it was put it was like her “independence day”.
The 64-year-old singer wrote in her column for the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Words I never thought I’d say and certainly not with excitement: Lo, my stairlift has arrived!
“After many weeks of waiting - and one nasty fall backwards down four steps - I can now get up and down Denise’s stairs without calling for reinforcements.
"Last Thursday, when the stairlift arrived, it was genuinely independence day. But lord, they hear me coming.”
Earlier this week, Linda confessed she was no longer “frightened” of death after she dreamt of her former bandmate and late sister Bernie - who passed away aged 53 in 2013 - and she has a feeling of "joy" that she will one day be reunited with her sibling, and her late husband Brian Hudson.
She said: "What happens when you die is a frightening thought and I was scared that first night, but I dreamt of Bernie all night a few days later. We were laughing hysterically like we used to, and we were sorting my will: 'Give that one this and that one that.' And when I woke up, I wasn't frightened any more. Can you believe that's how I feel?
"The medical people say, 'It's in your brain' and I'm not frightened any more.
"I feel Brian will be there - and Bernie. I got a feeling of joy out of that. You know, when she was dying, I remember it was about four days before that happened, and Bernie said to me, 'Can you believe I'm dying? And now it's going to be me. My sisters say, 'Well, we could all die at any time but I have medical opinions...' "
