BARBARA Windsor’s ex-husband Ronnie Knight has died aged 89 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Ronnie – who was married to Barbara Windsor for 22 years – passed away on Monday in a nursing home in Cambridgeshire.

Many also viewed Ronnie as a “gangster” due to his friendship with the Krays.

In 1983, almost £6million was stolen from a Security Express depot in Shoreditch, East London – of which he handled £314,813.

After a decade on the run in the Costa Del Sol, he was finally jailed for his part in the crime, receiving a seven year sentence in January 1995.
