Given the diagnosis in 2021, they reveal uncertainty about precisely which stage of the illness the 66-year-old has reached, though "she's still funny, she's talking, she's happy." ‌

Her spouse, Steve Sheen, and son, Charlie, revealed to BBC Breakfast that they were initially in "disbelief" when receiving her diagnosis. ‌

Steve explained that the initial warning signs emerged in November 2020, when Pauline struggled with reading a script, according to the Express .

He recalled: "She started reading it and she phoned me on that day and said, 'the words are not going in'. That's where it started."
