Dame Barbara Windsor's husband of 19 years has revealed the actress's confidence has begun to fade as she battles Alzheimer's.
In an interview with close friend and radio presenter Chris Evans, husband Scott Mitchell, 56, described the emotional journey following his wife's Alzheimer's diagnosis and how he would be raising money for the charity Dementia Revolution.
Scott is set to run the London Marathon with the Carry On star's former colleagues in order to raise money for dementia research.
Describing the moment he knew his wife was battling more than just the effects of old age, Scott said the actress's confidence began to fade.
In an interview shared by The Sun he said: 'One of the things that I noticed is that her confidence started going, terribly.
As the disease began to take hold of the soap star, Scott said that his wife became a 'diluted' version of herself and would struggle to carry out actions.
Scott will be joined by Barbara's soap colleagues, who have call themselves Barbara's revolutionaries, to raise money for ground-breaking research at the UK Dementia Research Institute and also raise awareness of dementia.
The team include soap stars Adam Woodyatt, Jake Wood, Emma Barton, Natalie Cassidy, Kellie Shirley, Tanya Franks, Jamie Borthwick Jane Slaughter and Virgin Radio Breakfast presenter Chris Evans.
Now five years on from his wife's devastating diagnoses, Scott went on to say that he now aims to tackle Barbara's disease in the same way he deal with his own sobriety- one day at a time.
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.
