Linda Nolan has opened up about battling cancer during the coronavirus pandemic, admitting sometimes she "sobs into a cushion".
The singer, 61, has incurable breast cancer that has now spread to her liver.
Her diagnosis came after she discovered she had breast cancer in 2006, and was then diagnosed with cellulitis and lymphedema in her arm in 2007, before getting the devastating news that she had secondary cancer on her pelvis in 2017.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, Linda said she has tried to stay positive but there are moments when her illness really gets her down.
She said: "There's times when I sob into a cushion and I shut the door having been positive to everybody else, and I slide down the wall and think what's going to happen and it's unfair.
"You just have to dig deep and think there will be a light at the end of the tunnel."
Linda said this diagnosis has been the most difficult as she hasn't been able to see most of her family because of the lockdown.
She explained: "It's the third time now I've had the diagnosis, but this time has been harder, I think because of the pandemic because it makes you realise how much you need other people.
"I possibly took people for granted you know, and all of a sudden I wanted those people to be there to put their arms around me, to go through it with me, and of course they couldn't this year.
"I kind of had to dig deep within me and think I can do this, they're there, they're a phone call away."
Linda's sister Anne Nolan was also diagnosed with cancer back in May, and they helped each other through it.
She said: "It was a great source of comfort for each other that we were going through it together, because as I say my other brothers and sisters couldn't be there to hold my hand."
And Linda is now looking forward to getting the coronavirus vaccine so she can see the rest of her family again.
"We've got a vaccine, there's light at the end of the tunnel," Linda said.
"I look forward to spring and being able to hug my little great nieces and nephews, who I've missed tremendously, that contact with them.
"I think positivity is just believing there will be something better."
