The most devastating news about best friend Pauline Quirke is shared by Linda Robson.
After learning that her dearest friend Pauline Quirke has dementia, Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson posted a devastating update on her.
Last month, Pauline’s husband, Steve, declared that the actress would be taking a break from her career. In 2021, she received a diagnosis of the degenerative brain illness.
As she helps her best friend and her family get through this trying period, Linda has now provided a new update on Pauline’s illness.

According to the 66-year-old Loose Women actress, Pauline’s health has gotten worse.
“I knew about Pauline’s diagnosis for three years and it has been tough,” Linda revealed in an interview with The Express at the TV Choice Awards yesterday night (February 10). I stayed in constant communication with her husband, Steve, and she is receiving excellent care.
Even though we have been friends for 56 years, she won’t know who I am since she doesn’t remember her grandchildren.
We FaceTime frequently, but she doesn’t say much. We stay in touch, and I’ll be visiting her next week, she continued. Although the support for her is admirable, discussing it can be distressing.
As she finds it difficult to identify her closest relatives, Linda also expressed her concerns that her best friend won’t recognize her when she visits her.
“I’ve noticed a real difference with her; even though we’ve been friends for 56 years, she won’t remember who I am because she doesn’t remember her grandchildren,” the actress stated. It is quite depressing.
Pauline is being cared for by her family.
Steve stated that his wife wishes to prioritize spending time with her family while announcing Pauline’s condition.
“We respectfully ask for your understanding and privacy during this trying time for Pauline and our family. At the time, he stated, “Pauline simply wants to spend time with her family, children, and grandchildren.” Since her illness was made public, the actress has received support from friends and family.
Maurice Gran, who co-wrote Birds of Feather with Laurence Marks, expressed his worries about Linda and disclosed that she is having trouble identifying her relatives.
“Her condition has gathered pace since the diagnosis,” he stated. Your heart goes out to her since she is still only 65. At first, she thought she was losing her hold. We now see that she finds it difficult to recognize her own family members.
Pauline married Steve in 1996, and the two of them have a son named Charlie. Emily, her kid from a prior relationship, is also hers.
