Rylan Clark has cancelled his Saturday radio show as he revealed to fans that his mother had been rushed to hospital.
‘Mummy Linda isn’t well sadly so I won’t be hosting the show tomorrow,’ the presenter announced in a post on social media on Friday night.
He then thanked the emergency team who looked after his mother, highlighting that this was an urgent situation.
‘Thank you to the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Especially Tanya who really looked after my mum.
‘Will keep you updated as she’s on the mend. She’s a trooper x,’ he promised fans.
Rylan updated fans but kept Linda’s illness and symptoms private.
The star was expected to host his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday afternoons, which is his usual three-hour slot that sees him play music and chat to guests.
Fans of the presenter have come to know his mother, Linda, after her numerous appearances with Rylan on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Viewers loved her dry sense of humour and her quick quips and back and forth with her son.
She first appeared on the show in 2019, but the duo missed out on the latest series due to Linda’s health issues.
In 2017, Rylan revealed that his mother was battling Crohn’s disease.
‘My mum’s had Crohn’s disease and unfortunately something went wrong, so she’s been in hospital for six weeks.
‘They’ve looked after her so well so I just want to say thank you and to people who have all been watching, she’s very, very well, she’s home now.
