A man confessed he made a huge “blunder” when he met Linda Nolan.

On Wednesday, January 15 it was sadly confirmed that Linda Nolan had passed away aged 65 from secondary breast cancer. It was said she spent her final hours surrounded by “love and comfort.”

Fans and colleagues alike have since shared treasured memories of working with the renowned TV personality and singer. Terry Geo was among those affected by the news, relaying a heartwarming account of his encounters with Linda via a TikTok video that has resonated with many.

In his tribute, he reminisced: “I’ve just learnt that Linda Nolan has died at the age of 65 and, it’s upset me, because I worked with her way back when and she was lovely.

“In 1995, the first ever TV show I worked on was a show called Year of the Pier, and we went all around the UK to different piers and, when we got to Blackpool, the person we interviewed there was Linda Nolan.”

Linda’s kindness left a lasting impression on him, as he recounted: “She was just so lovely, and such a nice person. We spent a good half day with her – just chatting about her life and just everything in general.

“Fast forward a year later, and I got press tickets to see Lily Savage in Prisoner Cell Block H the musical, in Sheffield, and Linda Nolan was in that show. I went backstage afterwards and I was only 17, and I wasn’t really used to drinking alcohol.

“I saw Linda Nolan, she was standing in the corner at the other end of the bar, and I rushed over and went ‘Linda’ with a full glass of white wine, which I then proceeded to spill all over her blouse. I was so mortifyingly embarrassed.”

Despite the awkward moment, Terry confessed that Linda was “lovely” and reassured him not to worry about it. She simply grabbed a towel to clean up the mess, and carried on as if nothing had happened.

Linda also recognised Terry from their previous work together, and he admitted she was just a “really nice” person. He encountered her again later when he was auditioning for a role in Hollyoaks, where she was also trying out for a part.

Terry expressed his sadness over the news of her passing, describing her as a “wonderful person”. He also extended his “love and hugs” to her family.

His story resonated with many online, as fans shared their own memories of listening to The Nolans’ music. Many were left devastated by the news.

One commented: “I loved The Nolans in the 70s/80s. Brings back great memories. RIP Linda.”

Another added: “You are 100% right. I met her in Blackpool years ago. She was very nice to me.”

A third chimed in with: “When she was in Maggie May I took her to work many a night in my taxi. Her husband was always with her. Always chatty. Lovely lady.”
