She said: “[Linda] fell up the stairs and she broke her hip.
“She went to hospital and when they did the scan of her hip they found secondary cancer.”
Since the news came out, Linda has revealed she feels her sister Bernie, who passed away from breast cancer in 2013, is looking down on her.
She also believes that the ghost of her late sister pushed her up the stairs so the tumour would be discovered.
Speaking to Best magazine she said: “I wonder if Bernie pushed me?
“She was always one for pushing me, perhaps she did it so I would find the cancer.”
Fans immediately showed their support for the singer as one wrote on Twitter: “Poor Linda … cancer is the horriblest disease ever !! I really wish her all the best .. #LooseWomen [sic]”.
Another said: “What a fantastic interview between Linda Nolan @NolanColeen & @loosewomen team hats off to you all #LooseWomen.”
We’re sending her lots of well wishes.
