«Breaking News» Dame Barbara Windsor doesn't recognise home as she battles Alzheimer’s

She was diagnosed with degenerative brain disease, Alzheimer’s in April 2014, although this was only revealed five months ago. 

And Dame Barbara Windsor's husband Scott Mitchell, revealed the actress sadly no longer recognises her own home and she gets most confused at night time. 

Scott, 56, spoke about Barbara's condition on BBC Radio 2 show, Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Wednesday.  

Sad news: Dame Barbara Windsor’s husband Scott Mitchell revealed his wife no longer recognises her own home as she battles Alzheimer’s (pictured in 2017)

Discussing his London Marathon run for the Dementia Revolution campaign, he said of the actress, 81: 'There's good and bad days.

'The confusion does progress and that becomes a lot more stressful for her to live with and you as the carer to watch.

'I think what I've learnt by talking to other people is its very different for every case. It's very simple things that used to be very easy, whether that's signing something or writing a letter, opening something ...'

 He said: 'At times very frustrating and irritable. It gets worse at night , with Barbara it's to do with our house'

He continued: 'At times very frustrating and irritable. It gets worse at night , with Barbara it's to do with our house. 

'She constantly asks me over and over again at night whose house is this, is we staying here, is this house I grew up with my mummy...'

Scott has been talking about Alzheimer’s in a bid to raise awareness and is running the London Marathon next month in a bid to raise £100,000 for vital research.

He previously told The Daily Star: 'The heartbreaking thing is a cure is possible.' 

Adding: 'She constantly asks me over and over again at night whose house is this, is we staying here, is this house I grew up with my mummy...' 

On Sunday, it was revealed that Barbara now struggles to remember her friends' names. 

Her EastEnders  co-star Kellie Shirley has now confessed to the Sunday Express that her old friend can no longer remember her name. 

She said: 'A massive part of being an actor is remembering things. Your memories are such a big part of who you are. That's why I feel for Barbara. She remembers so much about the past as clear as day yet she won't remember my name. 

Her rock: Barbara, who appeared as Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders, was diagnosed with the condition on 2014, but Scott only made the news public five months ago (pic date unknown)

'We still have funny moments. It's not bleak all the time, but it is hardcore. It's a cruel disease that robs you of your memories.

'Any time I'm in town for an audition I'll meet up with Barbara and Scott for a cup of tea. I've always done that. I'm training with Scott so we meet up on a Friday, run together and catch up. I find running so boring so chatting makes the time go faster.'

Scott also told The Sun the Carry On star cannot be left alone and requires assistance from carers.

It was reported that the acting legend believes she is in Stoke Newington, where she was raised, rather than at home with Scott and that it can make her very emotional. 

'I used to feel very guilty about leaving her, so I could be stuck in the house for two or three days. When I did first have carers in I still felt a sense of guilt,' Scott said.

'But I also realised it is so important for me to have that little bit of rest from the situation — otherwise you can't keep strong. You need to keep strong for the other person.'

He also revealed that watching television helps Barbara, as does listening to a radio station designed for those suffering with dementia.

'They make it very easy and you can do playlists — there's a whole thing of Barbara’s career and her songs on that. She really loves that, she connects with it,' he added.

 Support: Tanya Franks, Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick with  Kellie Shirley, Scott Mitchell and Jane Slaughter, who will be taking part in the 2019 Virgin Money London Marathon to raise money for vital research

Scott, 5...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
