GMB's Susanna Reid sends heartfelt message to Fiona Phillips following Alzheimer's diagnosis

Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls have led messages of support to Fiona to Fiona Phillips following the broadcaster's Alzheimer's diagnosis at the age of 62.

The former GMTV host, who was brought up in Pembrokeshire, was first diagnosed with the disease one year ago after suffering with brain fog and anxiety.

The mother-of-two, who is married to ITV boss Martin Frizell, lost her mother, Amy, to the disease in 2006 and her dad, Phil, in 2012. She told The Mirror: "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."
