Daily Star - New Su Interview |
 Su
Pollard is 'living life for her pal Ruth
Madoc' after tragic death of Hi-de-Hi
star
Hi-de-Hi! stars Su Pollard and Ruth
Madoc were best friends for 40 years,
though sadly Ruth passed away last year.
Though Su is determined to live her life
in memory of her pal
Su Pollard is living life to the fullest
in honour of late pal Ruth Madoc.
The Hi-de-Hi! legends were friends for
more than 40 years. So when Ruth, who
played yellowcoat Gladys Pugh in the
sitcom, died aged 79 last December, it
made her take stock.
Su, who starred as cleaner Peggy, vividly
remembers the moment she heard the news.
She told the Daily Star Sunday: “It
was ever such a shock. It was terrible. I
was about to do panto and I got a phone
call to say Ruth had broken her leg.
“I found out what hospital she was
in and I phoned her. And then a few days
later she was gone."
