LINDA Nolan has revealed she keeps her late husband's ashes by her bedside - and won't be moving them to make her future lovers feel more comfortable.
Appearing as a panellist on today's Loose Women, the singer, 59, admitted that just over 10 years on from Brian Hudson's death she is ready to find love again - but won't be moving his urn from her bedroom.
Asked if she ever speaks to her loved ones beyond the grave, Linda said: "I do. I've got [Brian] in the bedroom at home, his ashes."
Revealing she sometimes even argues with her late husband's urn, she confessed: "I say 'I can't believe that you've died' and then I go back upstairs and I say, 'I'm sorry'."
Fellow panellist Janet Street-Porter then suggested Linda considered removing Brian's ashes from the bedroom when she found a new man - but the Nolan sister was having none of it.
She hit back: "Whatever happens in my life now, they'll have to fit in with that.
"I have his ashes in a token urn, it's like a little cauldron, and I have that by my bed with my favourite photograph of him."
Nevertheless, Linda admitted she is on the lookout for love and companionship but won't be using dating apps.
She added: "I'm not going out hunting to find somebody. I'm just ready that if it did happen, it would be lovely."
The interview also saw Linda, who is battling secondary breast cancer, reveal she's doing "really well" following her diagnosis in March 2017.
"The cancer is still in my hip and it hasn't spread," she said.
"I'm no longer on the crutches that I was on, so it's all going really well.
"I had radiotherapy and I have an injection in my stomach once a week for my bones.
"I also take a calcium tablet everyday for my bones."
