Fiona Phillips has said 'thank you' to the British public after going public with her Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. The popular 62-year-old said she had been touched by the love and support she had received.
Talking to the Mirror, Fiona said: “People have been so kind to me. Because I was worried about sharing the news I have this awful disease. I was anxious people would be staring or whispering about me or would just write me off as a batty old woman.
“But there has been incredible kindness. And so many people have told me about how Alzheimer’s has hit their families, as it has attacked mine, and somehow it just makes them feel a little bit less alone.”
