Linda Nolan celebrated her 64th birthday with pink cake and family members amid her third battle with cancer.

Despite the good news, a year later she was diagnosed with cellulitis and lymphoedema in her arm.
On Friday afternoon the singer but her health worries to one side to spend some quality time with family on her special day.
Taking to Instagram, the star shared a video of her birthday bash along with an image of herself happily showing off a pink birthday cake.
She penned a caption to go with the post that read: ‘Will they still need me, will they still feed me, when I’m 64? Well I had one cake for me and another for me!

The birthday post came after the singer shared a new health update and revealed she was trying out a new treatment for her latest cancer diagnosis.
Linda’s incurable secondary breast cancer on her pelvis was discovered by doctors after she suffered a fall on her hip.
In 2020 she was further diagnosed with the disease for the third time and has since received ongoing treatment that has caused her to lose her hair and eyebrows.
Linda has continued to be open with her fans on her journey and admitted she was willing to ‘do anything to stay alive’.
