Emmerdale star says family had to ‘really push’ for mother’s dementia diagnosis

Former Emmerdale star Charley Webb has candidly spoken about her mother’s ongoing battle with early-onset dementia, revealing the significant challenges faced in securing a diagnosis and the necessity to "really push" for answers.

Webb, 37, first disclosed her mother’s diagnosis at the age of 64 in 2023, subsequently becoming a prominent advocate for Alzheimer’s and dementia awareness. Appearing on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, she recounted the pivotal moment a decade ago when she first suspected something was amiss with her mother.
