“My hope for 2025? To not die, obviously. I just want to be here with my family.” She added that she wished to “keep breathing to see another one.”
It comes after her sister Coleen Nolan revealed her sister’s glamorous funeral plans as her family lay her sister to rest today (February 1).
The late Big Brother star revealed from her hospital bed that she wanted to be buried in a “pink, sparkly” coffin, in keeping with her love of all things glitz and glamour.
Linda had shared her final wishes with her family, and her sister Coleen has revealed that they plan to honour her request for a “pure showbiz” send-off, although not all of Linda’s ideas will be followed.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Coleen said: “She wanted everyone in black, wearing mantillas, those little lace veils that cover your face.
“I remember saying, ‘You are joking, Linda! If I see all my sisters in mantillas, I’m going to laugh the whole way through the funeral!’
“We’ve decided not to do that, but we are wearing black. Her coffin is pure showbiz – bright pink and sparkly, just as she wanted.”
The Loose Women star went on to share her sister’s love of bling, adding that her trainers, tops, walking stick and trainers were all blinged out with glitter and diamantes.
