Lorraine Kelly is amongst the many TV stars who are sending their love and support to Fiona Phillips after her devastating diagnosis. Yesterday (July 4), the journalist and presenter announced she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at the young age of 62.
Fiona received the news from doctors last year after she began suffering months of brain fog and anxiety. The former GMTV presenter told the Mirror that the disease has 'ravaged' her family, after losing both her parents, grandparents and uncle to the cruel disease.
The mum-of-two, who is married to This Morning boss Martin Frizell, kept her illness a secret for 18 months before deciding to make it public this week. Fiona is now undergoing trials for a new, revolutionary drug which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in years to come.
