Linda and Anne Nolan have revealed they are both battling cancer.

The siblings – who make up the girl group The Nolans alongside Coleen and Maureen – have revealed they are both receiving treatment for cancer, which tragically killed their sister Bernie in 2013.

Anne told The Sun of her fears: “I don’t want to die. I love my life so much, I love my daughters, my grandchildren, my friends, all my family.

“I want to live for as long as I possibly can. I am scared of dying as well. Even though I believe in God, I’m still scared.”

Linda added: “I don’t want to die, I want to be around and see my great nieces and nephews grow up, and that’s why I’m putting everything I’ve got into trying to get well.”

She has battled cancer in the past twice, including breast cancer in 2006 and secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.

Meanwhile, Anne has been diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time.

Linda recalled the time that she was told she needed to have a scan, just minutes after Anne revealed her diagnosis.

She said on May 7, their sister Maureen called her to confirm Anne’s breast cancer.

I love my daughters, my grandchildren, my friends, all my family.

Linda revealed 30 minutes later, her oncologist’s secretary phoned her to say she needed an MRI scan because they’ve “seen something on her liver”.

Meanwhile, Anne admits the current coronavirus pandemic has made things worse and she has been suffering anxiety attacks.

Anne said that while having chemotherapy, you can “pick up any kind of infection” and it can be “fatal”.

She said that’s been “playing on my mind as well” and this has “broken me down a bit, to be honest”.
