If you need support, please get in touch with Alzheimer's Society on 0333 150 3456 or visit alzheimers.org.ukJulie Goodyear's husband has revealed his heartbreak at watching his wife 'slowly fade away' during her battle against dementia.

The actress, 81, announced her devastating diagnosis in June last year, with her husband Scott Brand, 55, saying at the time that they had 'come to terms' with the 'heartbreaking' news Scott said that he misses the activities they used to enjoy, such as romantic meals and long walks, with the hardest being unable to go on holidays together anymore.

He said: 'For me, the hardest part was accepting and coming to terms with the diagnosis. At the beginning I refused to accept any support, thinking I could cope as we have always been quite private people.' Scott announced the news Julie had been diagnosed with dementia last June, with a statement that read: 'My darling wife and I have had to come to terms with this heart-breaking diagnosis'

'But we now know that there is no hope of a reversal in the situation – and that her condition will get progressively, and perhaps speedily, worse. She wrote on Facebook: 'From one former landlady to another I raise a glass to the one and only and truly irreplaceable Barbara Windsor' 'She was a national treasure. That word is thrown around too casually nowadays. But with Barbara it was well and truly meant. Thoughts are with her family and friends.
