Rylan Clark reassures worried Gogglebox fans after his mum Sue appears on a drip
RYLAN Clark took to Twitter to reassure fans his mum is doing Ok after they spotted her with a drip on telly.
Rylan and his mum are currently appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox and Linda has become a huge hit with the public.
But on the most recent episode, fans became concerned when they spotted the drip during the show.
The pair shared their usual hilarious banter, but eagle-eyed fans noticed the clear drip connected to Linda and lead down the side of the couch.
One fan tweeted to the TV star: “@Rylan is Mum ok? Saw the drip on.”
Rylan replied: “Had a lot of people ask, mum is fine, she has a tpn line for a feed… to do with her crohns . V normal. Thanks for asking xx”
It comes Rylan revealed he installed cameras in his mum’s home to keep an eye on her as her health deteriorates.
Linda, 69, now has just 70cm of her bowel left, compared to the usual 2m, and has been fitted with a stoma bag following her latest major surgery to help with her Chrohn’s.
While life is a lot more manageable for her, Linda admits she’s “not well a lot of the time” and Rylan he been left concerned about her.

The Celebrity Gogglebox star explained: “I’ve got cameras in Mum’s house, so I can see her and make sure she’s OK.”
Discussing how life is for her now, Linda told The Mirror: “I have nurses come round every morning and evening to give me a special feed. I’ve had Crohn’s since I was 30 and used to be in so much pain I’d be crying all the time.
“It was unbearable – I felt like I wanted to get a knife and punch my stomach open.
“I’ve had three major bowel operations, and with the last one I got a stoma bag. Now I don’t have pain, which is a relief, but I’ve got to have nutrition put in me. Everything goes straight through where I’ve hardly got any bowel left.

“I’ve only got 70cm of bowel now, so if I have a drink of water I’ve got to empty the stoma straight away. My life is in the bathroom. I don’t know how long it will be until the doctors can’t do any more. I feel alright, but I get down because I can’t go out and I can’t do what I want to do.”
The pair are closer than ever following Rylan’s split from husband Dan Neal last year.
The former X Factor star separated from his husband of six years Dan Neal in June last year, and admitted he slept in bed with his mum Linda, 69, as he came to terms with his heartbreak.
Rylan, 33, and his ex-husband Dan first revealed they were taking time apart in June 2021 after he made a “number of mistakes”.
The couple – who were wed in 2015 – confirmed their relationship was over shortly after, announcing the “breakdown of their marriage”.
