Loose Women's Kaye Adams has candidly shared her fears about ageing, particularly in relation to health issues she observed her parents struggling with.

During a recent episode of the How To Be 60 podcast, Kaye and co-host Karen MacKenzie delved into a frank discussion about end-of-life matters, including the possibility of care homes and prolonged illness.

Kaye expressed interest in exploring a living will, but the conversation soon shifted towards the topic of death itself. Karen suggested that a swift passing would be preferable, a sentiment echoed by the BBC Radio Scotland presenter, primarily due to her personal experiences with her parents.

However, Kaye clarified that she doesn't fear death per se. What does concern her is the prospect of enduring long-term ill health in advanced age.

Kaye said: "The actual expiring, I don't think about that. Yeah, I don't have a fear of that, but I am like you. I do have a fear of prolonged ill health in old, old age because I've seen it with both my ma and dad, and it is no fun."
