Barbara Windsor's husband Scott Mitchell painfully shared that his wife has slowly started to forget who he is as her Alzheimer's advances. He fought to hold back his tears as he revealed that Barbara's Alzheimer's was taking away memories from their marriage.

Barbara and Scott have been married for about 18 years and he admitted this was his biggest fear ever since she was diagnosed in 2014. He spoke to 'Loose Women' and shared, "It happened the other week, I helped her out of the bath and she looked at me and said, 'I don't know who you are". Scott is about 25 years younger than his 81-year-old wife Barbara and shared that her personality had also changed and she had lost some of her popular and famous 'sparkle'.
