Linda Nolan said she regretted not having children in unearthed interview as she dies aged 65

LINDA Nolan said she regretted not having children in an unearthed interview before her death today aged 65.

A video segment on Loose Women in 2017 featured the singer and TV personality speaking about her breast cancer journey and her then-recent diagnosis of a secondary incurable breast cancer.

The star of The Nolans girl group with her famous sisters passed away today with her remaining siblings by her side, with her final hours said to have been full of "love and comfort".

In the video she said: “I think when you are facing a future with cancer you do look back on your life and think have I made the right decisions, have I done as much as I can do.

“I think me not having children is nobody’s fault but my own.

"I just let my career get in the way.

"When I thought about it, it was a little bit too late really and it’s my only regret in life actually.”

Linda had been married to her husband Brian for 26 years before he passed away from cancer in 2007 and it took her nearly a decade to feel ready to look for love again.

In the emotional video, Linda continued: “I’ve had a love in my life that… some people don’t ever have that in their lives.

"Brian and I were married for 26 years and I was diagnosed with complex grief because we were together for 26 years, 24/7 and that’s why I missed him so much.”

She added: “When Brian passed away and people would say to me oh you won’t be on your own and I used to think, that’s not why I am sad because he’s not here to go to dinner with.

"It’s taken a long time, it really only happened last year to say ‘do you know what? Male company would be nice’.

"Just to go for dinner, to go to the movies with, to sit at home and watch a film with and be comfortable with.

"It’s more of a companion now.”
