Smiling Linda Nolan joins sisters for day out amid incurable cancer diagnosis
Linda Nolan enjoyed a family day out as she spent time with her sisters, following her heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.
The actress and singer, 64, fears it’s now a "one-way trip" after her incurable cancer, first diagnosed six years ago, was found to have spread to her brain.
However, the Irish star enjoyed some fun with her close family as she attended an afternoon tea in Blackpool with Anne, Denise and Maureen.
Anne took to her social media to share a pic of their outing, saying: "Spent a lovely afternoon with my sisters in @dorichotel having afternoon tea.
"Thank you so much for inviting us, we had a lovely time xxx"

"I’ve had radiotherapy and soon I’ll be starting a drug for brain tumours, which is being nailed as a wonder drug - alongside another chemo drug.
"When I was on chemo in 2020 I stayed on it until I couldn’t handle it. So if it’s working, we’ll go with it. Anything that’ll give me time," she told Women magazine.
She added: "They keep telling me not compare myself to Bernie, because ten years have gone by and they didn’t have these drugs then."
The singer was first diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2005 before getting the all-clear in 2006, but in 2017 was diagnosed with a form of incurable secondary cancer in her hip, which later spread to her liver in 2020.

In March, Linda announced her cancer had spread to her brain (Aaron Parfitt / SplashNews.com)She has lost her husband Brian and younger sister Bernie to the disease, and watched eldest sister Anne successfully fight it.
The Nolan Sisters suffered a horrible hoax earlier this month as a radio DJ mistakenly said Linda had died and shared a photo of her online.
The group had to post on Twitter : "Just over 20 minutes since this was tweeted and the sheer volume of calls we’ve received because of this. Linda Nolan is absolutely NOT dead."
Tony Airey told his followers: "So sad to read that @LindaNolan_ has died I have so many memories seeing the Nolans at concerts I still have a signed photo from 83 Crawley Sports Centre West Sussex loved playing their music on my mobile disco & hospital radio crawley sending condolences to family R.I.P Linda."

Another added: "You are a disgrace, kindly remove the tweet, so unfair of you to that to the family and @LindaNolan_ fans. Some fan you are."
"Was talking to her an hour ago, seems well enough to me," a third wrote online.
