Former Page 3 girl Linda Lusardi’s sex life is BETTER following cancer scare
Ex-glamour model had a 5 pound tumour removed from her womb at the beginning of 2016
FORMER Page 3 girl Linda Lusardi has revealed her sex life has improved since having a hysterectomy during a cancer scare earlier this year.
The 57-year-old beauty - who began her career as a topless model on The Sun's Page 3 in 1976 - was diagnosed with a 5 pound tumour on the wall of her womb, and was advised by doctors that the best course of action was to have the life-changing surgery.
However Linda, has discovered her life has altered in ways she could never have expected, particularly in the bedroom with husband Samuel Kane.
Speaking to , she said: "I used to have a little bit of pain.
“Now it couldn’t be better.”
The former Emmerdale actress was relieved to find the tumour was a benign cyst, and seven months on, she is relishing the positives which have unexpectedly come from the experience.

She continued: "The whole ordeal was terrifying as I was convinced I had cancer in the stomach or womb.
“But having a hysterectomy was the best thing I have ever done.
"All the side-effects have been positive. I lost weight straight away – about seven pounds. My legs have become slimmer and I’ve got the flattest stomach I’ve ever had."
Linda has remained in great shape since first appearing on Page 3, and back in 2005 she was voted the Best Page 3 Girl of all Time.
The star doesn't worry about the 10-year-age gap between herself and Samuel, adding: "I worried about the age difference in the beginning, but I don’t even think about it now.
"Women often die before men anyway so we will probably go at the same time.”
The couple married in 1998 and have two children together, and Linda still feels as besotted with her spouse as she did when they first got hitched.
She said: "It still feels like a new relationship.
“I think it’s about picking somebody that you really get on with.
"Sam was a friend before we got together. We’ve taken time over the years to work at it and be good to each other."
