It's been four years since the passing of beloved actress Dame Barbara Windsor. Her husband, Scott Mitchell, recently opened up about his life after her death and the possibility of moving on in a new relationship. The couple had been married for twenty years before Barbara's passing at the age of 83 in 2020, following her battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Reflecting on his time with the acting legend and his future without her, Scott shared with Best Magazine, "Before she passed, Barbara told me to grieve, to feel heartbroken, and then to move on and live my life to the fullest. Knowing Barbara, she probably would have already remarried a charming 25-year-old by now!"
Since Barbara's passing, Scott has accomplished many things, including running a marathon and writing a book. He has also been involved in a lot of charity work behind the scenes. However, he believes it's now time to focus on himself and his future. Scott acknowledges that Barbara will always hold a special place in his heart, but he knows she would want him to find happiness again.
Barbara, who was originally born Barbara Ann Deeks in 1937 in Shoreditch, London, began her acting career at the young age of 13. She is best known for her roles in the Carry On movies from 1964 to 1974 and for her iconic portrayal of Peggy Mitchell in the BBC One soap, EastEnders.
Currently, Scott is in a relationship with Barbara's former co-star Tanya Franks, who played Rainie Cross in the soap. Four years on from Barbara's passing, Scott continues to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK and has even participated in the London Marathon with some of his EastEnders co-stars.
As the EastEnders community continues to mourn the loss of Peggy Mitchell, Scott and others are keeping her memory alive through their efforts and support for Alzheimer's research.
