No way.
Was it cancer?

Bladed · 08/08/2022 20:39

Oh that’s sad :(. She’s not had it easy health wise has she. So sorry to hear this news.

Riverlee · 08/08/2022 20:41

One article suggests it was breast cancer.

Sad news.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 08/08/2022 20:42

She's had BC for 30 years.

Yes it's breaking news on Sky
She'd had cancer for over 30 years
Such a good actress and singer.
She was 73

WildRosie · 08/08/2022 20:46

She had certainly suffered from breast cancer in the past. Too bad. A real English star.

Seen on national news now. Very sad news xx

Very sad news she's a legend. Great actress with a lovely voice and seemed a nice lady too.
RIP ❤️

Goggin · 08/08/2022 21:11

She's had breast cancer for a long time. I was a teenager when Grease came out and and my friends and I were obsessed. I played the album over and over. We're all getting old..... May she RIP. A sweet lady.

xsquared · 08/08/2022 21:33

Very sad news.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 08/08/2022 21:36

I remember queuing round the block to see Grease when I was a nipper. Got all dressed up, it was a real occasion.

she seemed so classy, so beautiful and what a voice. Rest in peace, no more pain. Sad news.

Wasn't she Australian?

Rockbird · 08/08/2022 21:54

I think she was born in the UK

So sad. She was my idol from when I was v young 😔

SundayTeatime · 08/08/2022 22:12

It is so sad, but not not a shock. She’d been living with metastatic breast cancer for about five years, which is double the average. Lovely woman.

CheerUpSleepyGene · 08/08/2022 22:15

RIP beautiful lady. Thank you for all the wonderful work you did for cancer care and animal welfare xx

She was, she came from Cambridge.

May she rest in peace. Thoughts for her husband and family.
