Nadia Sawalha Is 'Horrified' By Lynda Bellingham's Widower's Behaviour

Yesterday it was sadly reported that Lynda Bellingham’s two sons are locked in a bitter feud with their stepfather over their late mother’s will, with the heartbroken siblings refusing to believe that the star didn’t leave them anything when she passed away from bowel cancer in 2014.

Now Lynda’s friend and Loose Women co-star Nadia Sawalha has lashed out at Michael Pattemore’s “outrageous” behaviour - with the widower previously claiming that he’d had sex with Lynda’s ghost.

Speaking on Loose Women earlier today, Nadia seethed: “I have just been so uncomfortable… But the point is he sat on TV and said he’s had sex with Lynda’s ghost! That’s outrageous, in my opinion it’s outrageous.

"I feel - from what I knew of Lynda - that she would have been horrified to hear him say that.”

She also admitted that she is devastated that Michael was reportedly left everything in Lynda’s will - with him allegedly depriving her sons Michael and Robbie of their inheritance, evicting them from their family home and blowing the cash on luxury holidays for himself.

Nadia added: “This story really upsets me. I used to know Lynda very well and I used to look after the boys when they were younger and she adored those children.”

Speaking about their decision to contest their mother’s will, Michael previously explained: “This isn’t about money. It’s about the fact that he’s got control over everything my mother worked for her entire life, and we know that’s not what she wanted.

"We knew what she wanted for us. She told us many times she wanted to buy each of us a flat.”

Michael married Lynda back in 2008 and has taken to social media to share a string of selfies from his holiday following his step-children’s allegations.
