Fiona Phillips’s husband on life after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis
- Martin Frizzel, husband of broadcaster Fiona Phillips, has spoken about his frustrations concerning her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
- Phillips, 64, was diagnosed with the cognitive condition in 2022 and publicly shared her diagnosis the following year to raise awareness.
- Frizzel co-authored Phillips’s new book, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer’s, detailing his anger over the lack of support for those with the disease.
- He highlighted that despite an estimated one million people in the UK having Alzheimer’s, including 70,000 with early-onset, there is very little help available.
- Frizzel, who stepped down from This Morning to focus on family, expressed a heartbreaking wish that Phillips had been diagnosed with cancer due to the availability of treatment pathways and support. Frizzel shared that Phillips sometimes becomes confused over who she is.
