Fiona Phillips, 62, has revealed that she has Alzheimer’s disease, a condition which both her parents battled with.
The much-loved TV presenter, and Mirror columnist, was diagnosed with the illness 18 months ago and is being looked after by her doting husband, This Morning boss Martin Frizell.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Mirror, Martin, 64, explains that due to Fiona’s illness he has had to ramp up his husband duties, including creating nutritious meals and making regular trips to their home in Italy.
He says, “Before I didn’t ever have to worry about Fiona before and now I do. ‘What is she doing all day while I’m at work? What is she doing in the evening if I’m out? what has she eaten?’”
