LINDA Robson has shared a heartbreaking update on close friend Pauline Quirke after it was revealed she has been living with dementia for three years.
Pauline’s husband Steve revealed last month she is living with dementiaLinda has shared a sad update on her friend’s conditionPA Wire The stars have known each other since they were tenRex
Now Linda, 66, has revealed the sad reality of the struggles Pauline’s loved ones are facing.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the TV Choice Awards, the Loose Women panellist said: “It’s very sad. We’ve been best friends since we were ten. I’ve known [about the diagnosis] for three years.
“She doesn’t know who anybody is.
“She doesn’t know who I am or who her kids are. Dementia is terrible – I’d rather get cancer, because at least then you’ve got a chance.”
And Linda insisted that she’ll never do another episode of Birds of a Feather as it wouldn’t be the same without Pauline.
They starred together in Birds of a Feather as Sharon Theodopolopodous and Tracey Stubbs.
The sitcom ran on the BBC and then ITV across nearly 30 years.
But Linda revealed she would like to do a TV tribute to her friend. She said: “I wouldn’t do it without Pauline.
“It wouldn’t be the same without her. I would be up for some kind of tribute to celebrate her.”
Linda also teased she’s working on something with Lesley Joseph – who also starred in Birds of a Feather as Dorien Green.
Refusing to give away too much, she simply said: “There’s something in the pipeline.”
After the news of Pauline’s diagnosis was revealed last month, Linda took to Instagram to share her heartbreak.
She wrote: “For the past three years, I’ve been in close contact with her husband, Steve, and have spent time with Pauline.
“It breaks my heart to see her endure such a terrible illness.”
Is it ageing or dementia?
Dementia – the most common form of which is Alzheimer’s – comes on slowly over time.
As the disease progresses, symptoms can become more severe.
But at the beginning, the symptoms can be subtle or mistaken for normal memory issues related to ageing.
The US National Institute on Aging gives some examples of what is considered normal forgetfulness in old age, and dementia disease.
You can refer to these above.
For example, it is normal for an ageing person to forget which word to use from time-to-time, but difficulting having conversation would be more indicative of dementia.
Katie Puckering, Head of Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Information Services team, previously told The Sun: “We quite commonly as humans put our car keys somewhere out of the ordinary and it takes longer for us to find them.
“As you get older, it takes longer for you to recall, or you really have to think; What was I doing? Where was I? What distracted me? Was it that I had to let the dog out? And then you find the keys by the back door.
“That process of retrieving the information is just a bit slower in people as they age.
“In dementia, someone may not be able to recall that information and what they did when they came into the house.
“What may also happen is they might put it somewhere it really doesn’t belong. For example, rather than putting the milk back in the fridge, they put the kettle in the fridge.”

TIGER WOODS has pulled out of the Genesis Invitational event as he continues to grieve the passing of his mother.

GettyWoods announced the shocking news last week[/caption]
The 49-year-old had been due to compete in the Genesis Invitational in Southern California, USA, later this week.
However, on Monday evening he announced he was “not ready” to return to action after the death of his “dear mother”.
In a statement released on social media, he said: “I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready.
“I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my Mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.
“Thanks to everyone who has reached out.
“I hope to be at Torrey later in the week and appreciate the continued kindness since my Mom’s passing.”
Woods’ tribute to his late mother saw him name her his “biggest fan”.
He said: “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning.
“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with the needle and a laugh.
“She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.
“She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.
“Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom.”
Woods’ mother Kultida was originally from Thailand and met his late father Earl, a retired US Army officer, in 1968 when he was on a tour of duty in the country.
They ended up settling in Cypress, California. And Woods, who was their only child, was born there in December 1975.
He has won 15 Major golf titles, including the Masters five times, putting him three behind Jack Nicklaus’ tally of 18.
Kultida was a regular at Woods’ matches and was most recently at his TGL clash in Florida on January 14.
Woods paid tribute to her in June last year when he received the Bob Jones award for his contribution to golf.
Woods said at the time: “My mom doesn’t get enough credit.
“Everyone thought that it was my dad when I went on the road, which it was.
“But mom was at home. If you don’t know, mom has been there my entire life.
“This award, I accept it in humbleness and just unbelievable regard for the past recipients but I also accept it for my mom too.
“She allowed me to get here. She allowed me to do these things, chase my dreams, and the support and love — I didn’t do this alone.
“I had the greatest rock that any child could possibly have: my mom. Thank you, mom.”

A TEACHER has allegedly stabbed an eight-year-old student to death at a school in South Korea.
The female teacher, in her 40s, confessed to the frenzied attack after cops found her and the young girl inside the Daejeon elementary school on Monday evening, say local authorities.

The girl was discovered by police on the second floor of the school after her parents reported her missing.
She had stab wounds to her neck and face, a local fire department official told Reuters.
The student was rushed to hospital “in an unconscious state” and tragically died a short time later.
The teacher also had stab wounds on her neck and arm with officials now investigating if they may have been self-inflicted, local media added.
She reportedly underwent surgery on her injuries and is due to be questioned by police when she regains her health.
As cops continue to look into the alleged fatal assault it has been revealed that the girl was at an after-school child care session.
She was also due to attend a private art class shortly before being targeted, local media reports.
Both the teacher and the girl were found by police at around 6pm.
Cops were first notified by the child’s parents who reported her missing from the art class.
Police found the teacher had taken a leave of absence due to depression and had only returned to the school late last year, reports the Yonhap news agency.
In August 2023, a high school teacher was also reportedly attacked with a knife in Daejeon, around 87 miles south of capital Seoul.
Chilling footage shows the blade-wielding suspect launching an attack at the AK Plaza in the city of Seongnam right after he rammed his car into pedestrians outside the building.

February 10, 2025New York StateComments Off on UK’s best-selling used cars revealed… as supermini snapped up by 306k Brits beats out rivals for THIRD year in a row
THE Ford Fiesta has been named the UK’s best-selling used car for the third year in a row.
In 2024, a whopping 306,207 second-hand Fiestas were sold, according to new figures by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
FordSecond-hand Ford Fiestas are the UK’s best-selling used car[/caption]
The motor smoked its closest rival, the Vauxhall Corsa, by 50,000 units.
Fordhas sold 4.8millionFiestasin 46 years and it had 12 consecutive years as the No1 biggest seller from 2009 to 2020.
Ford discontinued the Fiesta in 2023, confirming there were no plans to create an eclectic version ahead of the 2023 ban on new petrol and diesel sales.
The next most popular Ford was the Cortina, with 4.3million sales from 1962 to 1982.
Sales of Fiestas could continue to boom as there has been a 43.3 percent increase in drivers selling their used electric vehicles in 2024, according to SMMT.
The society believes the upcoming introduction of road tax on EVs this April is one of the main reasons for trading.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief, said: “Record sales of second hand EVs also demonstrates strong appetite for these cutting-edge cars at lower price points.
“Ensuring ongoing growth, however, means maintaining that affordability, along with supply, which requires meaningful fiscal incentives to stimulate consumer demand for new EVs and removing the VED expensive car tax disincentive that risks dragging down used EV affordability for years to come.”
Motorexperts from online marketplaceCarwowrevealed their picks for the top bargain rides in Britain today, including a “perfect city car”.
A 2014 Fiesta with 92,000 miles on the clock would set drivers back around £3,800.
Carwow’s John Rawlings described it as a “great car to drive” and said that it offers more of a spacious layout than many of its rivals.
In January 2025 Auto Trader revealed the fastest-selling used cars of 2024, with Mercedes and Peugeot topping the list.
The Mercedes-Benz GLB Class, which took an average of just 16 days to sell last year.
The German marque also secured the second-place spot with its A-Class SUV, which takes 16 days and 12 hours on average to be sold.

February 10, 2025New York StateComments Off on Bonnie Blue insists sleeping with 1,057 men was educational – and reveals how many times she orgasmed
CONTROVERSIAL OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue has revealed how many times she orgasmed whilst sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours.
Not only this, but Bonnie – who recently sent shockwaves through the country after she broke the world record and bedded more than 1,000 blokes in one day – has now spilled the beans on what she believes was an enjoyable and educational experience, in a bombshell interview with The Sun.

Not only this, but the controversial OnlyFans star got candid on penis size and whether she prefers British or American menTikTok/@bonnieblue_xoxSpencer Clinton/The U.S. SunBefore making millions on OnlyFans, Bonnie – real name Tia Billinger – had a regular life with a normal job[/caption]
InstagramThe sex worker recently left people horrified after sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours[/caption]
Before breaking the world record previously held by Lisa Sparks, who slept with 919 men in a day in 2004, Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, had a regular life with a normal job.
Now, Bonnie, who was banned from entering Australia where she planned to romp with teen school leavers, exclusively told The Sun about her recent world record break.
The 25-year-old, who has become one of the most controversial figures in the world and could only spend 40 seconds with each man, admitted: “So I probably orgasmed in the world record about four times.
“That’s because my time with each person was quite short and for me to orgasm personally, it tends to be a lot longer than 40 seconds.
“But also, it wasn’t just about me. I was so focused on pleasuring them. It was more focused on that.
“Obviously I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but I probably orgasmed about four times throughout those 12 hours.”
As well as this, the blonde bombshell claimed: “It’s not like it affected my ability to orgasm whatsoever.
“All I did was a long, long stint of exercise, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
“If anything, it just taught me more about my body and more about men because I saw so many different shape and sized penises.
“And obviously when you’re sleeping with that many people, that’s like 1,000 lessons I learned that day because people were saying, ‘hey, this is how I like it, this is how I enjoy it’.
“If anything, it’s just boosted my CV. And now I’m going to be a better porn star for it.”
“I mean I’ve definitely been with more UK men and I’ve had a lot of fun and a lot of orgasms.
“So currently UK, but by the end of my US tour maybe the US boys.”
The reality of penis size
The OnlyFans creator who grew up in Nottinghamshire and once wanted to be a midwife, also got candid to The Sun on penis size, as she explained: “If you do have a really small penis, there’s some positions I won’t be doing because it’s too hard.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
Born in May 1999, Bonnie – whose real name is Tia Billinger – grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre.
She has two half-siblings – a sister and a brother – who have always remained out of the public eye.
She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad.
Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015.
She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager.
After school, she began working in recruitment.
In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15.
Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment.
However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a ‘cam girl’ – crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world.
She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week.
But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together.
She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there.
She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her “niche” of sleeping with young male students – such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University’s freshers week in September 2024.
Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans.
Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she’s her daughter’s PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie’s events – as well as handing out condoms to young clients.
In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event.
“To me, if it is the size of a forearm, that is not my favourite.
“So I guess it somewhat does [matter], but you should never be ashamed or embarrassed.
“And if you have got a smaller penis, there’s multiple other ways you can pleasure a woman.”
It wasn’t just about me. I was so focused on pleasuring them. It was more focused on that
Bonnie Blue
Not only this, but when it comes to Bonnie’s upcoming plans, she told us: “I’ve got Spring Break coming up.
“And that is a lot of US college boys. So I’m excited for that.”
Bonnie met Oliver Davidson aged 15 and they tied the knot in 2022Twitter / @Tia_Billinger
Before making millions on OnlyFans, Bonnie was married to Oliver Davidson, whom she met aged 15.
Private schoolboy Oliver was a talented rugby player who studied at Trent College in Nottingham where school fees can reach £45,000 a year.
At 16, she jetted off on holiday with him and his parents on an all-expenses-paid trip to Mexico, before eventually tying the knot in 2022.
But after she began to make close to £5,000 a week on OnlyFans and her stunts got more extreme – the pair split after a decade together.
According to Bonnie, who is still technically married but is currently in the process of divorce, the decision to call it quits has got nothing to do with her bonking hundreds of men.
She exclusively told The Sun: ”I saw a lot of articles saying oh I’m now getting a divorce because I’ve slept with over a thousand men.
”And that is not the case that we’ve been separated for a long, long time now.
”And he’s still very much supportive and very proud because I have seen articles which say he doesn’t associate himself with me, and that’s not the case. We’ve still got a very close relationship.”
Potential future relationships
The controversial star also admitted that doing the bizarre challenges is ”definitely” going to affect her relationship status in the future, as many may be put off by her past.
However, Bonnie proudly said that finding a man is not a major ”priority” right now.

She admitted: ”All it does is cut out the people that are judgmental and the people that are not going to be right for me.
”And I always think, you know, if I’m going to be single for a long time, that’s okay.
”If I want to have children by myself in the future, I can. So it’s like anything I need a guy for, I can do myself.
”So finding a boyfriend isn’t a priority. But I would like to do some speed dating.”
Rating men
Earlier this year, Bonnie courted controversy once again by rating the men she slept with during her “record-breaking” event.
The young blonde claimed to have slept with a staggering 1,057 men to clinch the record – one of whom was Brandon Beavis, aka Beavo.
The TikToker has built up a friendship with OnlyFans star Bonnie, with the pair regularly featuring in each other’s social media posts over the past few months.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
Beavo also documented his trip to the London mansion to take part in Bonnie’s controversial event, with video footage of their encounter even making its way to adult websites, according to reports.
And now, in a new video on her TikTok page, Bonnie has decided to potentially jeopardise her relationship with Beavo by giving him a rating after their brief session.
“So you’ve all probably seen Beavo in my queue most recently,” she said.
“I’m gonna rate him a good 7 out of 10.”
Bonnie added in the caption: “7/10 for Beavo, if he comes again it might be higher.”
In a shocking clip posted on Bonnie’s official YouTube account, the sex worker was joined by 27-year-old Josh Lee Spooner, a documentary maker and photographer with 15,900 followers on Instagram.

Alongside the video, Bonnie penned: “Thank you to all the dads, sons, grandads and husbands that helped make this possible.”
When discussing sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours, Bonnie, who wore only a jumper and a pair of knickers, shockingly claimed: “A number I am very proud of.”
However, Bonnie then got candid on the toll the sex marathon took on her body.
As she stood up and pointed to her bruises, she confessed: “I think they’re fingerprints to be honest. I’ve got bite marks.
“My legs feel the most sore, but apart from that, I’m ready for round two.”
And it wasn’t just her legs with war wounds. Josh, whose main ventures seem to be promoting gym products, appearing on podcasts and discussing business strategies, alongside helping to produce long form videos, also spotted painful marks on her neck.
If anything, it’s just boosted my CV. And now I’m going to be a better porn star for it
Bonnie Blue
But Bonnie wasn’t fazed in the slightest, as she shared: “I say to them all the time – the dads, the husbands, the students – leave your mark on me. Bite me, make me yours for that amount of time.”
Shamelessly, she claimed: “I enjoy it, when they’ve left marks, whether it’s hand prints, bite marks, bruises.
“I’m ok with that, I quite like it. It’s a bit of a turn on actually.
“Last night was the sorest I’ve ever felt but today I’m fine.”
The former corporate worker explained: “I’m aware that with the amount of people I am sleeping with, I need to be tested regularly. I’m aware of the risks.
“HIV is the big one and I still choose to do it. I’m happy to risk the things I risk to do.”
Bonnie, who also bragged about making £1million a month and claimed her body count has now reached 1,700 men, has now decamped to Las Vegas, eager to grasp every opportunity for global domination.
But the content creator, who has sparked outrage on numerous occasions, with furious This Morning viewers flooding to Ofcom with hundreds of complaints following her appearance in a daytime interview, isn’t bothered by what haters say or think about her.
She “wouldn’t say I am a bad role model” and claimed to “speak about consent and the fact that sex should be about enjoyment.”
As well as this, Bonnie – who transitioned from working in recruitment to commanding the cam world last May, and has a net worth hovering around £3 million – was eager to prove that she does have self respect.
She confessed: “People think I’ve got no respect for myself, but I’ve never had more respect for myself in my life.”
The blonde also claimed to have big plans ahead, as she admitted: “I’d like to do an event like this every four to six weeks. This was just a warm-up.”
