LINDA Robson admits it has been tough watching her close pal Pauline Quirke living with dementia.

Pauline's husband, Steve Sheen, revealed last month that the 65-yearold had been diagnosed with the condition in 2021.

And Linda, 66, who has known Birds of a Feather co-star Pauline since they were both 10, had been aware of her illness for three years.
