Former EastEnders actress Wendy Richard has died at the age of 65, her agent has confirmed.
The star, who played Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap opera for 21 years, had been suffering from cancer.
Her agent Kevin Francis said: “She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to the end.”
Last October, Richard revealed she had an aggressive, terminal form of cancer. Soon after that she married her long-term partner John Burns.
