Linda Robson reveals the exact moment she 'realised something wasn't right' with best pal Pauline Quirke amid dementia diagnosis


Pauline, 65, was diagnosed with dementia in 2021, but the illness only became public knowledge when her husband Steve Sheen made an announcement in January this year.

'Pauline has been an inspiration through her work in the film and TV industry, her charity endeavours and as the founder of the very successful Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA). 'Demonstrating her acting versatility, she also starred or appeared in more than 60 TV and film productions, including Carrie's War, North and South, Casualty, Cold Blood, Thieving Headmistress, My Family, You, Me and the Apocalypse, and of course Emmerdale.' Her husband Steve Sheen announced in a statement last month that the the Birds Of A Feather star would be ' stepping away from all commercial and professional duties' after living with the disease for four years (pictured together)
