BARBARA’S Windsor’s husband Scott Mitchell has led tributes to the Carry On and EastEnders legend after she died age 83.

The star, known to millions of Brits as ‘Babs’, passed away at 8.35pm last night at a London care home with Scott by her side until the very end.

In a moving tribute, he called her his “precious Bar” and said: “I’ve lost my wife, my best friend and soul mate.”

Boris Johnson also paid tribute to Barbara Windsor – and highlighted her years of campaigning for the “lonely and vulnerable”.

The PM wrote: “So sad about Barbara Windsor, so much more than a great pub landlady & Carry On star.

“She campaigned for the lonely and the vulnerable – and cheered the world up with her own British brand of harmless sauciness & innocent scandal. Thoughts with Scott and all her family & friends.”
