"I never believed in a million years that that would have happened to my younger sister"

– Joan Collins on the sudden loss of her beloved sister, Jackie

The ever glamorous Joan Collins sashayed down our red carpet to join the Loose Women.

Joan talked about the recent loss of her brilliant sister, Jackie. She said, "She’s the bravest person I’ve ever met. She came to London nine days before she died… she wanted to say goodbye."

Joan admitted that Jackie didn't tell her about her illness until near the end, "I didn’t know

she was ill until two weeks before. I would have worried myself to death."

Joan has been very vocal on social media, sharing her grief with the world on the loss of her beloved sister. Joan said she didn't feel like Jackie did her a disfavour by not telling her

about her long battle with cancer. She said, "We knew how much we meant to each other."

Since Jackie's passing, a letter was released to the public from Jackie herself, urging everyone to live life to the fullest. Has her older sister Joan taken on this advice? Joan said, "Yes, life is short, you don’t know what’s going to happen."

Joan's brand new novel, The St. Tropez Lonely Hearts Club is out now.
