Linda Nolan has revealed she will die if she catches coronavirus, according to her doctors.
The Nolans singer, 61, opened up about the tragic news and informed fans she and her sister Anne, 70, are both high-risk after they were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic.
The sisters were diagnosed with the illness within days of each other back in March.
Linda is battling incurable liver cancer, while Anne is suffering from breast cancer.
And Linda says she and her sister have been warned by doctors to keep safe, with professionals telling her she “will die” if she contracts Covid and the flu at the same time.
The star, who is sister to Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan, told The Express : “If I get the flu and then Covid I will die.
“That’s what me and my sister Anne were told, we will die because we have nothing to fight it with, because chemotherapy depletes your immune system.”
Linda revealed how important it is for her followers to get the free flu jab if they are entitled to it, like herself.
She added: “So it is vitally important that you get it [the jab] and the thing is it’s so easy, it takes 10 minutes out of your day.”
Her older sister Denise, 68, joined in with the chat, adding that Linda has been telling people in shops to put their face masks on if they aren’t wearing one.
Denise revealed her sister has said to people: “It’s alright for you, but if you give Covid to me I will die”.
Linda has been living with Denise following her diagnosis.
She has finished her chemotherapy and is awaiting the results from her scans.
