Lesley Joseph shrugs off Pauline Quirke questions
Lesley appeared on GMB today where she sat down to chat about dating beyond your fifties.
It was here that Rob and Lesley reflected on companionship and their own close friendship. He said: “You do have a gift for friendship,” to which Lesley insisted it is because she “loves life”.
The pair reminisced on when they previously starred in panto together and a wonderful day where Rob cooked for Lesley and even gave her a foot rub – solidifying just how strong the bonds are that Lesley makes.
Rob acknowledged just how wonderful Lesley is at fulfilling their friendship, as well as her relationships with her Birds of A Feather co-stars.
Charlotte Hawkins probed: “We saw, obviously, you in Birds of A Feather, it was particularly poignant watching it now that we have all heard the news with Pauline Quirke being diagnosed with dementia and just what a shock that must be.”

Lesley Joseph on Pauline Quirke’s legacy
Lesley then stated: “I have to say, what a wonderful actress she is and what joy she has given, not just in Birds of a Feather but in The Sculptress, where she was really scary, and in Broadchurch and Emmerdale.
“I just really take my hat off to Pauline Quirke. She is amazing.”
Lesley then shut down any further questioning on Pauline’s recent diagnosis.
The actress insisted: “I won’t talk about her at the moment, not with her illness because that is private.”
Charlotte then replied: “I completely understand.”
Lesley went on to state her own experience after being impacted by dementia, explaining her mum lived to nearly 104 and had suffered from dementia, despite being very active in her nineties.

“She doesn’t know who anybody is. She doesn’t know who I am or who her kids are. Dementia is terrible – I’d rather get cancer. Because at least then you’ve got a chance.”
In January, Pauline’s husband shared a statement revealing that the Birds of A Feather star had to step away from acting due to her diagnosis.
She first received her dementia diagnosis in 2021.
