Linda Lusardi, 62, told to 'get kit off one last time' by sick trolls amid Covid battle

Former Page 3 model Linda Lusardi was told by sick trolls to 'get her kit off one last time' in the midst of her terrifying Covid battle, during which she feared she might die

Page 3 legend Linda Lusardi was ordered by sick trolls to "get her kit off one last time" while she battled Covid and now she is as she appears on The Real Full Monty.

The star appeared on the show on Monday night and revealed tragically that cruel trolls asked her to strip when she was battling Covid-19 in case she didn't survive.

Making light of their horrific remarks, the beauty appeared on the screen to address why she was on the show.

Linda recalled how trolls asked her to strip "one last time" when she was battling coronavirus.

Luckily, she saw the funny side as she laughed and quipped that that's what she was doing now.

She joked: "Well, now I am," as she prepared to strip on the show to raise awareness of cancer.

Linda's decision to take part in the show comes four years after she was told she had a 9.5cm tumour on the side of her womb which was discovered after an MRI scan.

Luckily for Linda, her tumour was not life-threatening and she was later told it had been caused by hormonal changes.

She later underwent a full hysterectomy in order to stop the growth of the tumour.

The star was also hospitalised earlier this year and left fighting for her life, with her husband Sam Kane confirming she was "at death's door" after she was diagnosed with coronavirus.

However, she is now back fighting fit and is ready to raise awareness of cancer and the symptoms that display the early signs.

Speaking about her encounter with coronavirus, Linda said: "There were some very dark moments where I didn't think I was going to make it.

"The mental trauma of it has touched us all even though it was me who was sick.

"My children had to deal with the fact they might lose both of us and then me, and the mental effect its had on us has been very traumatic really."

Linda told The Sun: "I think were still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder a little bit."

She added in August: Ive had some hair loss which has been a bit distressing. I still havent got the energy I had before although Im getting there. Every weeks a bit better.

The former glamour model has said that the near-death experience has made her reevaluate things.

She said: "Its made me value my life a lot more and when I first came out I was just elated to just be alive. I felt so responsible for my children Just the thought that they may not have had us anymore was terrifying."
