Barbara Windsor and dementia
In April 2014, Barbara was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
She elected not to make the condition public at that time, but it was known to her friends and colleagues.
However, in May 2018, Barbara’s husband Scott Mitchell publicly revealed her condition.
He has kept the public updated with his wife’s condition ever since, admitting that her health and mental state had deteriorated so much she no longer recognised him.
In August 2020, Barbara was moved into a care home in London.
