Liz, a former heavy smoker, suffered from the lung condition emphysema for several years. She had a pacemaker fitted in 2013 after having a heart attack while on holiday in Spain.
In June she had surgery linked to her heart condition but she fell ill again and was taken to Wythenshawe Hospital, Greater Manchester, in late August.
