“Unfortunately, Julie has been suffering forgetfulness for some time and we have been seeking medical advice and assistance, but we now know that there is no hope of a reversal in the situation – and that her condition will get progressively, and perhaps speedily, worse. “We have taken the decision to publicly announce the diagnosis as Julie still loves visiting friends and eating out. “Inevitably she is recognised, and fans love to meet her – and she them – but she can get confused particularly if she is tired.
