Rylan Clark's mother rushed to hospital with mystery illness
Rylan Clark has cancelled his Saturday radio show as he revealed to fans that his mother had been rushed to hospital. 'Mummy Linda isn't well sadly so I won't be hosting the show tomorrow,' the presenter announced in a post on social media on Friday night. He then thanked the emergency team who looked after his mother, highlighting that this was an urgent situation. 'Thank you to the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Especially Tanya who really looked after my mum. 'Will keep you updated as she's on the mend. She's a trooper x,' he promised fans. Rylan updated fans but kept Linda's illness and symptoms private. The star was expected to host his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday afternoons, which is his usual three-hour slot that sees him play music and chat to guests. Fans of the presenter have come to know his mother, Linda, after her numerous appearances with Rylan on Celebrity Gogglebox. Viewers loved her dry sense of humour and her quick quips and back and forth with her son. She first appeared on the show in 2019, but the duo took a break a few years ago because of Linda's health. In 2023, Linda had a horrific fall while on holiday in Marbella, suffering from a broken arm and leg during her first foreign holiday in 10 years. In 2017, Rylan revealed that his mother was battling Crohn's disease. 'My mum's had Crohn's disease and unfortunately something went wrong, so she's been in hospital for six weeks. 'They've looked after her so well, so I just want to say thank you and to people who have all been watching, she's very, very well, she's home now.' Years ago, Rylan spoke to the Daily Mail about how his mother was impacted by the disease: 'My mum lost her job because of the disease – it totally dictates her life. When she was diagnosed it really hit her hard because it wasn't picked up early enough. 'The earlier you pick it up, the easier it is to control. I grew up with the disease as well because she was ill – it is life-threatening. It's scary.' Earlier this week, Rylan and Linda appeared on This Morning and revealed that the Celebrity Gogglebox editors have had to cut out their 'career-ending' conversations. More Trending Linda told Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary: 'When he mucks about, I go, 'Please don't put that bit in.'' 'We're lucky that the editors clearly like us, because the stuff they've had to cut out is career-ending,' Rylan agreed. '[I say] 'Don't you dare say what I just said,'' Linda said. 'We're like, 'Yeah, can we not use that, please',' the Big Brother's Bit on the Side host laughed. Got a story?

Heartbreaking question Fiona Phillips asked her husband 72 times on drive
Fiona Phillips's husband Martin Frizell has told how her advancing condition has left her increasingly confused and isolated – unable to understand why she is being taken to hospital In a deeply emotional interview, former This Morning editor Martin Frizell has told how his wife Fiona Phillips has been severely affected by early-onset Alzheimer's. Fiona was just 61 in 2022 when she received her devastating diagnosis, and the condition has already worsened dramatically. He told Newsnight 's Victoria Derbyshire: "I used to say good days and bad days, now I just say bad days or wretched days, I think wretched is a great word for it." He recalled one heartbreaking taxi ride on the way to a hospital appointment where Fiona, now 64, was completely disoriented: 'In the cab ride, she asked me, 'Where are we going' 72 times.' Martin explained that Fiona had to see doctors about an unexplained pain that may or may not be directly connected to her condition: 'She's got a secondary pain. We don't know where the pain's coming from. We don't know if it's physiological. 'I couldn't drive her because she panics, and it's bad enough just driving with that too. I wouldn't take her on public transport because I'm frightened.' He explained that Fiona still looks just as she did when she was a regular face on TV, and so there's a good chance that she might be approached by a member of the public, leading to confusion and distress. He said that Fiona couldn't understand why she was in the taxi, and kept repeating the same four words: 'I'd say, 'We're going to see the doctor and hopefully he'll take the pain away,' and then, literally 15 seconds later, [she'd say] 'Where are we going?'' In perhaps his most heartbreaking admission, Martin confessed that he would have preferred it if his wife had been diagnosed with cancer instead of Alzheimer's. "My mum died from [cancer],' he said, 'My father had cancer, so I know what cancer can do. 'But I don't think Fiona is ever going to be able to taste a glass of wine again, walk on a beach properly again, go on holiday again, go to the theatre, go to the cinema, drive her car, or cook a meal for her children.' He added: 'My worry is that on her deathbed, whenever that may come, and hopefully it's a long time from now, will she even know who we are?' With cancer, Martin said, there is always a chance that the condition can go into remission, or at least be slowed down. But he added that, by contrast, there is no hope when it comes to Alzheimer's. In November 2007, Fiona appeared in the documentary The Killer in Me, during which former England footballer John Barnes, political commentator Andrew Neil, and Heart FM DJ Toby Anstis all found out their risk of developing 11 major diseases, including cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. In August 2008, Fiona stepped down from helming ITV 's flagship Breakfast show GMTV Today, and, in a poignant moment, Martin shared a clip of her last words on the show, saying : 'It's been such a privilege sharing my mornings with you, and I won't forget you.' This week sees the publication of Fiona's memoir, Remember When: My Life with Alzheimer's, which is co-written by Martin and journalist Alison Phillips. The book charts the relentless progress of her condition — including memory loss, impaired speech, and difficulty with everyday tasks — it also highlights the challenges faced by those with early-onset dementia and their carers.
