As he celebrated a huge accomplishment with an unseen photo, former This Morning boss Martin Frizell updated his wife Fiona Phillips about her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Fiona Phillips’ husband Martin Frizell has shared a heartwarming update on the former GMTV host amid her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The presenter, 64, was diagnosed with the progressive brain disorder in 2022.

Since then, former This Morning boss Martin has been by her side caring for her. He has continued to share updates on Fiona and last month the couple released Fiona’s book Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer’s.

With their book currently sitting at number four on the prestigious Sunday Times Bestsellers’ List, Martin has celebrated a significant accomplishment. He took the time to update his followers on Fiona’s status and.

She thanked everyone who showed an interest in her story, saying, “She really feels lighter now,” Martin said. “I want to thank all the people who have contributed to my stories.”

Fiona beaming at the camera as Martin explained his choice: “I attach my favorite photo of her from a TV location shoot and it shows what a force of life and vitality she had.”

He added that when the two of them listen to The Police together, they frequently sat together to look through their photo albums. In a conversation with the Loose Women earlier this month, Martin shared an emotional update on Fiona’s condition.

The good news is that her mood has improved, according to Martin. Not so much in terms of Alzheimer’s disease as having better appetite and sleep.

After receiving her new anti-depressant, Martin continued to claim that her wife has “less confusion.”

She’s in a much better place now than she was a few weeks ago, he continued. He did point out that his wife gets frustrated while watching TV, and that she is now unable to do the on-screen acting she has always loved.

He claimed that Fiona’s frustration is her current main issue with her Alzheimer’s. She’ll watch TV and become irritated that she’s not working.

She’ll become enthralled or afraid after thinking about it. A fearless woman was this. She accomplished this for decades. He said it’s terrible to see her in that anxious state right now. As such, Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease.

She’s still very much with us and sharp as a tack, Martin added, adding to a happier note. Fiona was described as the “nicest person I’ve ever met” by Martin when he met her while working at GMTV in the 1990s, and she continues to do so today.

Mackenzie and Nathaniel, both sons of Fiona’s and Martin’s sons, are doing great, according to Martin.

She revealed the techniques that famous makeup artists use for awards ceremonies and red carpets in a stunning bikini snap in February, causing a flurry of reactions from the media.

Have a baby in 2025, but most importantly, love with every inch of your heart because of the memorials this year.

I completely unconsciously recognized the aesthetic pressures of my work this year, and I also experienced brand-new self-love and genuine confidence at the same time.

The Maneater actress also revealed that she was forced to sue some “charlatans” online for selling services based on selling myths about me about health and beauty.

She continued, “I’ve never had any facial procedures, body augmentations, besides veneers on the top row of my teeth, which have recently.”

She says she started getting her aging, dewy skin when she was 20 and is instead a loving, traditional facialist.

Only a greasy bacon sandwich would have been enough for Ruth Langsford, 65, after she had a party at Amanda Holden’s house after being duped by fellow TV presenter Lucy Alexander.

Wild Ruth Langsford was left nursing an epic hangover after sinking bottles of Rosé with pals at Amanda Holden’s Bank Holiday bash.

The 65-year-old and her friends made the most of the fine weather as they partied the day away – and there was plenty of morning regret! Ruth was joined by TV presenter Lucy Alexander and they certainly let their hair down as they smiled for selfies.

The Loose Women star needed all the help she could get after the killer party and there was only one thing for it – bacon sandwiches for the morning after! Hydration powders weren’t quite enough as she set about battling her hangover, and kept fans updated on her Sunday survival mission on Instagram.

She thanked Amanda for opening her doors to her over the weekend while sharing some fun photos with the other guests. The trio then displayed their excellent work by sharing a picture of three empty Graham Beck bottles with the caption “Oh dear”! – as Lucy argued that the incident occurred while intoxicated for seven hours!

It comes as Ruth praised her and Eamonn Holmes’ 23-year-old son Jack for his maturity during a tough ordeal for their family. The star revealed in an exclusive interview that Jack frequently accompanies her to visit her 94-year-old mum, Joan, who lives in a care home, and “just deals with it” when his grandmother “says the same thing over and over again” due to her Alzheimer’s battle.

Discussing her collaboration with Amazon and UK charity Dementia Carers Count, Ruth shared: “He goes to see my mum. I have to kind of remind her who he is, so I say, ‘oh Mum, Jack’s home tomorrow, and he’s going to come in on Sunday with me’. And she goes, ‘Oh yes, lovely’.

She will have forgotten that as soon as I leave, I know. So when we do enter, I say, “Oh, look who’s here, mum, it’s your grandson, Jack.”

She kind of looks at him, and he says, “Hello, Grandma,” and then her brain says, “Oh no, it’s him,” and she says, “Oh my goodness, you’re so tall” – he’s been that tall for, say, seven years. But it’s lovely.”

Jack previously spent time with Ruth’s late dad Dennis, who was also diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, but he was too young at the time to fully understand his grandfather’s behaviour.

She recalled that Jack simply managed to handle it while I took him to see my dad while he was in a care facility. And that’s challenging because some care homes have people who behave in challenging ways with dementia.

Ruth continued, “My dad got very young, and he was sat there blowing a raspberry at Jack. Jack thought it was hilarious. He should be included, I wanted to. But I made an effort to keep him from getting scared, or, should we say, I would sort of remove him from the situation and didn’t want him to get scared.

But I genuinely wanted to be a part of my dad’s life. And you are aware that life is not always perfect. People experience challenging circumstances. The fact that Jack just deals with it and that he now sees my mother, she repeats it over and over again, makes him great.

Ruth went on to say that “it’s really difficult” to explain Alzheimer’s symptoms to young children, and that Jack will occasionally say the same thing. You must be kind, and you must pretend that he hasn’t said the same thing to you five times.

According to the NHS website, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in the UK. Dementia is the name for symptoms associated with an ongoing decline of brain functioning, which can affect memory, thinking skills and other mental abilities.
