EastEnders actress June Brown admits that she’s losing her hearing and her
Opening up about her problem, Brown asked Windsor to tell her if she is talking to her because she is deaf and it is very hard for her to hear.
When Babs, 78, brought June – famous for playing chain-smoking Dot Branning – on to the stage, she apologised for not being able to hear her friend, The Sun reports. “I hope that they might do at some moment”, she told the tabloid.
“EastEnders” actress June Brown has revealed she’s going deaf, but has insisted she won’t quit the BBC soap. Earlier this month she attended a question and answer session her former co-star Barbara Windsor was holding, where she was open about her health issues.
He told The Independent: “I think a lot of people in their late 80s will suffer from a decline in various parts of the body so it’s not really a shock but June is still very upbeat and continues to do and function easily at what she loves most, which is acting”.
‘Sorry, I would like you all to shout because I can’t hear, you see. “But I only spoke about it on stage because I was having a discussion with Barbara”. “I am straining here…”
In May, June admitted her eyesight was going but claimed she couldn’t stop working because of her finances. In the left occasionally I do get this small circle with what looks like cross-wires.
“She’ll be back at work imminently and is chomping at the bit to return”. “I do pray about my sight – maybe it will return”.
June joined EastEnders in 1985 and has played the character of Dot Branning – formerly Cotton – ever since, barring a four-year break in the 1990s. The only reason she is off screen at the moment is because Dot is in prison.
