PUNK legend John Lydon has told how he is now full-time carer for his wife Nora as she struggles with the debilitati­ng effects of dementia.

Best known as snarling Sex Pistols’ frontman Johnny Rotten, the 64-year-old revealed a softer side as he spoke tenderly about his wife of 35 years.

He said: “Nora has Alzheimer’s...

I am her full-time carer and I won’t let anyone mess up with her head.

“For me the real person is still there. That person I love is still there every minute of every day and that is my life. It’s unfortunat­e that she forgets things, well, don’t we all?”

LOOSE Women panellist Nadia Sawalha has revealed she would have had plastic surgery if it wasn’t for her children.

The 55-year-old mum of two said ageing is “horrible” but she is trying to teach daughters Maddie 17, and Kiki, 12, to be body positive. She said: “Ageing definitely isn’t fun and if I hadn’t become a mother I would have had some work done.

“I’m not going to pretty it up – the physical signs of getting older are horrible. I did a video on Instagram last year about my cellulite as I didn’t want to ever be embarrasse­d by it again. I’d love a necklift or a facelift. I have no personal moral code when it comes to that, but how could I when it’s contradict­ory to what I’m teaching my daughters about body confidence?

She added: ”Sometimes I feel guilty and think: ‘Should I have a different job?’

“I ask their permission before I say anything on Loose Women and I have to be respectful of that.”
