Linda Nolan has opened up on her ongoing cancer treatment, sharing her fears of dying as well as the trauma she faced after losing her hair.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star and member of girl group The Nolans was confirmed to be battling cancer alongside her sister Anne Nolan earlier this month.
Both singers are now undergoing treatment, and have both lost their hair.
Linda's incurable cancer is in her liver and she previously battled breast cancer in 2006, cellulitis and lymphoedema in her arm in 2007 and secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.
Anne has stage three breast cancer, the most serious being stage four.
The pair bravely confirmed their illnesses this month, and now Linda has given an update on how she is doing amid treatment.
Linda said she was getting there while experiencing side effects of chemotherapy, while sister Anne's body was struggling with the treatment.
She admitted her initial trauma over losing her hair, before revealing she and her sibling were "scared to death" that they might not survive.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast on Thursday morning, Linda encouraged anyone experiencing possible symptoms to get checked out before it was too late.
She told the hosts: "I'm good, I've got certain side effects from the chemo, I've got pins and needles in my fingers and my toes.
"It hasn't been too bad, I think for me personally I was traumatised about losing my hair and at the time you feel like you're being a little bit vain.
"But I think everybody takes it differently and for women, losing your hair is a really traumatic thing. We're not supposed to be going around bald you know? But I'm good."
On her sister's condition, she went on: "Anne has really had it tough because her body isn't handling the chemo so well, but we are getting there.
"My sister Maureen has moved in to look after her and I have moved into my sister Denise's house so she can look after me.
"It's difficult, we're all devastated, we're both scared to death because we don't want to die but we're doing it the best way we can.
"Again I reiterate to everyone, go to the hospital and get it sorted because you'll eventually have to get it sorted and it might be too late."
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One.
