The much loved ‘Carry On’ and ‘Eastenders’ star Barbara Windsor passed away at the age of 83 on Thursday 10th December.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Scott Mitchell, said:\u00a0\u201cIt is with deep sadness that I can confirm that my darling wife Barbara passed away at 8.35pm on Thursday 10 December at a London care home.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer passing was from Alzheimer\u2019s\/dementia and Barbara eventually died peacefully and I spent the last seven days by her side.<\/p>\n

\u201cMyself, her family and friends will remember Barbara with love, a smile and affection for the many years of her love, fun, friendship and brightness she brought to all our lives and the entertainment she gave to so many thousands of others during her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarbara\u2019s final weeks were typical of how she lived her life. Full of humour, drama and a fighting spirit until the end.”<\/p>\n

Tributes have been pouring on from friends and loved ones.<\/p>\n

Fellow Eastenders star Patsy Palmer, who played Bianca Jackson, said: “I’m extremely sad to hear that my friend ‘Dame’ Barbara Windsor has passed away. I’m sitting here thinking of the 100s of memories we shared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Too many to comprehend. We were like family for a long time, ups, downs, ins and outs but you will never meet a more professional actress than Babs.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tamzin Outhwaite, who played Mel Owen in Eastenders, tweeted that she was “meant to be sleeping but can’t”, and described the actress as an icon and national treasure. “All I can hear is ‘ello darlin’,” she added in reference to Peggy Mitchell’s Cockney accent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
