Fiona Phillips reveals diagnosis with Alzheimer's in early 60s

Television presenter and journalist Fiona Philips has revealed how she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The columnist was told she had the illness a year ago following months of brain fog and anxiety.

At just 62, Fiona is currently undergoing trials for a life-changing new medicine which scientists are hoping could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers around the world reports the Mirror.

The former breakfast host said: "This disease has ravaged my family and now it has come for me. And all over the country there are people of all different ages whose lives are being affected by it - it’s heartbreaking. I just hope I can help find a cure which might make things better for others in the future."
