The Nolans singer and actress Bernie Nolan has died of cancer aged 52
The Nolans singer lost her 10-month battle with breast cancer after the disease tragically spread to her liver, bones, brain and lungs. She leaves behind her husband Steve Doneathy and her 14-year-old daughter Erin.
Bernie was being looked after in a hospice, but returned home shortly before her passing to spend some quality time with her family.
A spokesman for the family said: "Bernie passed away peacefully this morning with all of her family around her.
"The entire family are devastated to have lost beloved Bernie, a wonderful wife, adoring mother and loving sister; she is irreplaceable.
"They kindly ask people to respect their privacy at this difficult time."
The singer was diagnosed with cancer for the second time last year after previously beating the illness following chemotherapy and a mastectomy, receiving an all-clear in 2012.
