Dame Barbara Windsor’s widower Scott Mitchell traces her struggle with dementia back to a black cab ride gone wrong.
He recalls that, when he and Windsor were travelling through London by black cab in 2002, the driver was star-struck by the EastEnders legend. Attempting to dodge a van, he braked too late and sent Babs “headfirst into the partition.”
“I always believed that was the very start of Barbara’s ill health,” he said. “She was never quite the same.” Windsor died aged 83 in 2020.
