Linda Nolan appeared on Good Morning Britain today (Thursday, August 29) to share another cancer blow she’s experienced.
The 65-year-old singer has been living with secondary breast cancer since 2017. Last year, she revealed that the cancer had metastasised to her brain.
Linda Nolan dealt fresh cancer blow
During today’s GMB, Linda discussed how her current treatment wasn’t working.
“I just want it [the cancer] to go,” she said. During the interview, she also revealed some heartbreaking news.
The former Celebrity Big Brother champ revealed to Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway that her stepson has been diagnosed with cancer.
“We have had a rough time with it [cancer] and my stepson Lloyd has just been diagnosed and it’s like ‘go away! Leave us alone’,” she said.
“But the treatments out there are brilliant now,” she then continued.
Linda Nolan on cancer treatment not working
Just yesterday (Wednesday, August 28) in her column for The Mirror, Linda revealed that her cancer treatment had stopped working.
She found out the news last week following her most recent scans. Her scan showed growth of the two largest tumours at the front and left side of her brain, and a slight increase of smaller cancerous spots surrounding them.
“I sobbed when my consultant first told me. I know so many people are suffering and going through things, but I thought, just for once, could cancer just leave me alone? My heart sank,” she wrote.
She then went on to say that she knew her health was taking a turn when her balance began getting worse.

Linda planning to lose hair again
The star is now starting a new treatment, which includes the drug Enhertu. The drug has been denied to women on the NHS in England with a different type of secondary breast cancer to Linda’s.
Linda also revealed that she could be set to lose her hair for the fifth time. However, she remains upbeat.
“But if it happens, I’ll just shave it again. Thankfully, he is not saying we can’t do anything for you. We have more places to go. I am ready to try anything. I have done this before and I can do it again,” she said.
Linda’s cancer journey started when she was diagnosed in 2005, followed by incurable secondary breast cancer in her hip that was diagnosed in 2017. It then spread to her liver in 2020. Last year, she learned it had spread to her brain.
