The TV presenter has been open about his family going through several health issues as he gears up to enter the celebrity version of The Traitors which airs tonight. Betty has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems and difficulty with thinking and memory. Whereas, CFS has some similar symptoms which involves extreme tiredness and problems with sleep, thinking and concentration.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a disorder that causes an abnormally high heart rate when standing up or sitting up.

Doctors initially thought Betty’s symptoms pointed to Long Covid but then diagnosed her with the subsequent illnesses. Jonathan has previously said that they have had a “tough couple of years” but things are looking up.

Speaking on Loose Women, he said: “She has fibromyalgia and she has chronic fatigue syndrome and PoTS syndrome as well, which is where your heart rate shoots up.

“We found a good… there’s a thing called the Perrin treatment. The guy who invented it, he came to talk to me about it and she looked it up online because she’s a smart young woman, so she has to want to do the treatment.

“You know, I mean, I can’t just say to her ‘try this, try that’ if she thinks it’s wrong in some way and if she’s not going to enter it 100%, of course it’s not worth doing. But we’ve been having that treatment going on and she’s definitely showing some improvement.”

The Perrin technique is a bio-mechanical treatment consisting of lymphatic drainage. Jonathan’s other daughter Honey also received a “life-saving” diagnosis after struggling since she was 14-year-old.

She has always spoken candidly about her mental health and talked about how having ADHD impacts her life. Honey, who was only diagnosed in 2022, spoke on the Is It My ADHD? podcast about how she has always struggled with anxiety and depression.

Honey said she has been in therapy since she was 14 but it was only when her godmother was diagnosed with ADHD that she realised she might also have the condition.

“I’ve also been super hyperactive, can’t sit down, always fidgeting and I thought that was because I was anxious, and it wasn’t until my god mum got diagnosed with [ADHD] and things were clicking into place,” Honey said.

Jonathan is married to his wife of nearly 27 years screenwriter Jane Goldman after tying the knot in 1988 when she was just 18 years old. They met when he was 26 and Jane was just 16 and working as a showbiz journalist.

In 1999 the couple briefly separated after the stress of Jane’s battle with depression. Their statement said: “Jane, who suffers from depression, recently had a breakdown for which she checked into the Priory Clinic for treatment.

“As a result of this very stressful period a great deal of strain has been put on the marriage. Jane and Jonathan’s main concern at the moment is the happiness and security of their children.”

However, the couple decided to give things another go soon after and have been happily married ever since. Jonathan is set to appear on the next series of Celebrity Traitors which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman.

EastEnders’ Max Bowden and Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn ‘grow close’ amid chemistry

EastEnders actor Max Bowden is believed to have grown close to former Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn, with the pair spending a lot of time together in a stage production

An EastEnders star has sparked “chemistry” with a former Coronation Street actress. Ben Mitchell actor Max Bowden and former Sinead Tinker star Katie McGlynn have reportedly been spending a significant amount of time with one another while working together.

Just weeks ago, it emerged that Max had split from his girlfriend, Tori Allen-Martin, just six months after the pair started dating. At the time, it was reported that their romance had “fizzled out”. The pair had starred together in the musical, Midnight Cowboy, and instantly struck up a close bond and became “inseparable”.

Meanwhile, Katie recently split from her boyfriend, former The Only Way Is Essex star, Ricky Rayment. A source said: “Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they’re still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it’s definitely over.” They went on to say: “It was difficult at times for them dating even though they lived miles apart from each other, but ultimately it just wasn’t meant to be.”

But now, Max, 30, is said to have grown close to Katie, 32, after the pair started working together on the touring production of Murder at Midnight. The pair are believed to have been friends for some years but their time spent together while on the road appears to have ignited a romantic spark between them.

“They were in the soap world for so long where everyone knows each other,” a source said. They added to The Sun: “They’ve got loads in common and both have found themselves single at the same time as doing the tour. They get on well and have been spending time together – it’s clear they’ve got chemistry. Who knows what the future holds?”

Max has previously dated several co-stars, as well as Tori. He struck up a romance with his former EastEnders colleague Shona McGarty, who played Whitney Dean. He later went on to date Danielle Harold, who played Lola Pearce, but their relationship soon fizzled, and it’s claimed the pair are no longer on speaking terms.

Earlier this year, a source told the MailOnline: “Danielle and Max dated for a number of years. Of course, it was known among the EastEnders cast and everyone thought they were sweet together. Their relationship hasn’t ended on the best of terms, and they have even unfollowed each other on Instagram. There are a lot of emotions after they were friends, colleagues, and romantically involved for such a long time.”

Recently, Max sparked a frenzy amongst fans of the BBC One soap opera as he made a dramatic return to Walford. His character was last seen on the show last year, with his final appearance airing on March 28, 2024, as Ben was sent to prison after committing fraud in the US in a desperate bid to get money for Lola’s cancer treatment.

However, when previous boss Chris Clenshaw left the show, it was speculated that Bowden would return for a string of episodes. This was later confirmed by producer Ben Wadey, who reached out to Bowden. In August, it was confirmed that the actor would return for just two episodes.

Ben was granted temporary leave from prison, as he had been serving a stretch in America for credit card fraud. But during his explosive return, he told his husband, Callum Highway, that he had been moved to a prison in Manchester, with a brief stint in London, allowing him to attend Callum’s dad’s funeral.

However, during his short stint back in Walford, Ben’s life completely changed. In recent weeks, Callum has been cheating on his husband with Johnny Carter. During the emotional scenes which aired on Tuesday night, Callum confessed his affair to Ben, who appeared to understand, once Callum explained.

He later jumped up and declared that he and Callum would be getting divorced, while also claiming that he had been sleeping with other people while in jail, although it’s unclear if this is true or if Ben said it just to dig back at Callum. Despite putting on a brave face, once Ben was back inside his prison cell, the character appeared broken as he reminisced while looking at a photo of himself, his daughter Lexi and Callum.

The Mirror has approached spokespeople for Max and Katie.

Another customer labelled it ‘fantastic’ and added: “Nurse on 12 hour shifts and it does not budge!” Some people were unfortunately less pleased, with one saying: “Slightly disappointed, it doesn’t stay on and needs to be sharpened too often so it’s not going to last very long.”

Look no more, this is it. I have two colors and can not wait to buy more. I can not recommend enough, just perfect!”

Revolutionary product that makes me want to wear makeup everyday. Easy and fast application that lasts all day long.”

The first image was a neatly plastered patch, while the second showed Eamonn pulling a face after his own attempt showed a lot more tape needed to try to hold it in place.

It comes as the star continues with health struggles that have affected his walking. In May, there was concern for the star as he fell off his chair on live television. Weeks earlier, he had also been taken to hospital earlier after he had a fall at his home and had to ring an ambulance for help.

The presenter has been working hard on his rehabilitation after undergoing spinal surgery in 2022. He had the op due to chronic back pain that had been caused by three slipped discs.

He said the ailment had previously impinged on his sciatic nerve and affected the mobility of his right leg Over the last year, the veteran TV star has been seen using a walking aid and a wheelchair due to his reduced mobility.

And he recently said his health decline had “made him sad”. Sharing a photo of himself from three years ago, the star looked healthy and sprightly.

He said: “I could walk then.” In a bid to stay positive, Eamonn added that he was motivated to “redouble my efforts.”

Eamonn revealed in 2022 that his health problems caused issues in his marriage to then wife, Loose Women star Ruth Langsford. The pair announced their split last year after 14 years of marriage.

Eamonn has since moved on with Katie Alexander. Eamonn and Katie, who is 22 years younger than him, formed a close bond following his split from Ruth.

He said at the time: “Even my own family are bored of my moaning. It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”

Louise Redknapp’s savage response to Jamie moving on as son admits he struggled to cope

Louise Redknapp was married to Jamie for several years before they split and the football pundit went on to marry his wife Frida Andersson, with the pair having a baby soon after their nuptials

Louise Redknapp’s savage comment about Jamie moving on so quickly following their split has resurfaced after new comments the football pundit made about his baby’s arrival.

Jamie and his new wife Frida Andersson welcomed their first child together back in November 2021, not long after they tied the knot. In a new interview, Jamie revealed that his eldest son – who he shares with ex Louise – struggled in the wake of the new arrival.

Asked about becoming a father again in his late 40s during a chat on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, he admitted he was “a bit more relaxed” than he used to be.

Sharing the “most difficult part” of having another child, he added: “It was actually telling the kids that they were going to have a younger brother. It didn’t go down that well with Charley, I’ve got to be honest. I went to pick him up at school and tell him Frida was pregnant [and] it went down like a lead balloon, if I’m honest.”

Discussing Charley’s reaction, he explained: “I got it, I totally understood it because his world had been turned upside down — you’re married, everything feels straightforward, and then you meet someone else and you get married again.”

When Charley turned 21 earlier this year, Jamie paid tribute to his eldest and thanked him for being the “best big brother”. He wrote: “You’re also the best big brother — the way you are with Rapha and Beau melts my heart.

“Such a great role model; they’re so lucky to have you. Now that you’re 21, I’m hoping you’ll finally start beating me at golf… but I won’t make it easy! Can’t wait for a few days on the course together.”

Now, Louise’s comment soon after the pair split and it was confirmed Jamie was in a new relationship has resurfaced.

“I’ve felt this as a mum and, to say this in the most sort of respectful way, my boys’ lives changed dramatically and then it changed again when obviously Jamie got married and had a family,” she said in 2022, “The children’s life changed and I felt like I needed to be their one staple. That’s just something I think a lot of mums would feel.”

Whilst Jamie is now with Frida, Louise is with businessman Drew Michael. Speaking about Drew, she shared: “He is really great with my boys, he’s a great friend to them. He’s just a really great guy. I feel very lucky to have met him.”

Discussing the fact he is nine years younger than her, she added: “We live in a society where if it’s the other way round it doesn’t get talked about – but it does get brought up.”
