Former EastEnders star Ross Kemp has dubbed Dame Barbara Windsor his "second mum" in an emotional tribute on Good Morning Britain.

The 80-year-old actress recently revealed her Alzheimer's diagnosis after four years being privately treated for the chronic neurodegenerative disease.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Ross said: "I went round for a cup of tea and I had five cups of tea, three shortbread biscuits that I'm not supposed to have on my diet, and I laughed – a lot. I was there for three and a half hours!

"She's got this great ability when she walks through that front door, she's just on. When I came round, it's like seeing my second mum."
