Journalist and TV presenter Fiona Phillips has announced she is battling Alzheimer's aged just 62. The star got the devastating news last year, after she began suffering months of brain fog and anxiety.
Fiona told the Mirror the disease has 'ravaged' her family, after losing both her parents to Alzheimer's. She is currently undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in the years to come.
She 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."
