Barbara Windsor erases in front of my eyes, says her husband, Scott Mitchell

Barbara Windsor is becoming a duller and more diluted version of her brisk being as she slowly loses her fight against Alzheimer's disease, said her devastated husband.

Scott Mitchell, married to the ex-EastEnders star for 19 years, has been supporting Babs since the beginning of his memory nine years ago.

He first noticed a problem with Barbara when she began to draw when filming her drama scenes and had panic attacks because of her public release.

She stopped putting on makeup herself and trusted Scott to choose his outfits, after having a lot of confidence in his personal style.

But Scott promised to stay with his wife until the end, even if it erased in front of him.

"I can move forward in the years to come and get really scared because I do not know what will happen next year," Scott told Chris Evans, who will join the group of the London Marathon next weekend to raise £ 100,000 for the Dementia Revolution charity.

"To be honest, I do not know what will happen tomorrow, so my plan is for Barbara to feel safe and loved as long as I can, and the rest is most likely out of my control."

Scott said Babs still had rare moments of clarity, especially when she was back in environments where she always felt comfortable.

"We went to the theater last week and we had a rare event, and she loves it, which is the most amazing thing is when we enter a theater to take our place, the audience cheers. Is the most beautiful thing I've ever felt in your life, it melts me, "he continued.

"There is something in the theater that resonates inside this woman, who is part of her, who seems natural, who feels at home, who feels safe, who belongs.

"It's a really strange thing because – and it's happened twice – I saw her go through all these wonderful things in a theater, when we go home, we stand in front of our house and she will say, "Why did you bring me there? That's where I live with mom, and that's not the case.

Asked what he wanted most for Barbara, Scott said, "I wish she had no pain or fear of seeing her go through the future, but she still has some idea of ​​who she is. and from what she gave to people and know that whatever her doubts, she was pretty good. "

He added: "You can not express it in words .It's just something in me, it's a part of me, a part of my soul, a part of my being, how much I love him, I can not measure him with anything. "
