When asked how her life had changed, she replied: "I don't have the stress of having to learn lines."
She continued: "The crew helped me - especially the cameramen. I used to have my lines on the Duckworths' table, lines in Roy's cafe, in the frying pan - lines all over, really. I think half of that was worrying about my breathing."
The 70-year-old said of her life since leaving the soap: "I went on four cruises last year, and I've just been on my third one (this year). The sea air does you good. I wish everybody who's got what I've got could go and get that fresh air."
