Former EastEnders star Wendy Richard has revealed she's dying of cancer.
The 65-year-old actress, who rose to fame playing Miss Brahms in the BBC sitcom Are You Being Served?, has already battled breast cancer twice - but was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease earlier this year.
Ms Richard said she would marry her long-term partner before starting chemotherapy.
Besides playing Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap, she has also appeared in Dad's Army, The Likely Lads, Please Sir!, Up Pompeii, Grace & Favour (the sequel to Are You Being Served?) and some Carry On movies. In 1962 her (uncredited) vocals helped get her to #1 on the UK chart, on the single, "Come Outside", featuring Mike Sarne.
