Rylan Clark shares health update on mum’s condition as she lies in bandages in hospital bed after horror fall
RYLAN Clark has given a fresh update on mum Linda after she was rushed to hospital.
The X Factor star’s parent, 71, suffered a horror fall while the pair were overseas earlier this week.
Rylan was forced to cancel his BBC Radio 2 show as the trip was extended with his parent, understandably, the priority.
He then told fans Linda needed surgery following the mishap and has now given a positive update on progress.
Rylan posted a snap showing Linda smiling from her hospital bed – despite having her arm in a sling and being covered in bandages.
She looked comfortable in the sheets as she propped her damaged right arm up on a pillow.
The reality TV alumni opened up on her condition and wrote in the Instagram image caption: “Someone is out of the bed and in a chair.
“She can’t believe how many people have sent messages.
“Thanks everyone. Will update you all with more as I can x”
Fans were again quick to react, with one writing: “Oh bless her!! Speedy recovery xx”
Another put: “Bless wishing your mum a speedy recovery.”
A third then commented: “Sending love.”
Earlier in the week, he described Celebrity Gogglebox star Linda as “not in the best of health” and said her other conditions had complicated the matter.
Sharing a picture of his mum’s hand on Instagram, he wrote: “Mum is out of surgery. All went well. Asked me if she can still have a new driveway…. She’s deffo come round. Thanks for all your lovely messages x.”
Breaking the news of the painful incident to fans, he wrote: “So unfortunately I took my mum away on her first holiday in a good few years and sadly she’s had quite a bad fall, resulting in her having to have surgery out here.
“She’s not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated.
“My priority at the moment is my mum.
“Cheers Scott for covering me at radio 2 and Thanks to the people out here that have sent their well wishes.
“Praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Will update you on mummy. Linda as and when I can x.”
Last year Rylan spoke to Fearne Cotton‘s Happy Place podcast about Linda’s struggle with Crohn’s disease.
She was previously forced to take time off from Gogglebox due to a flare up of the incurable condition.
Speaking about his bond with his mum, he said: “I cannot imagine my life without her. I mean she has gone through quite a lot with her health, she has got Crohn’s disease.
“She is on a drip feed now like pretty much 24/7 whenever she can get on it.
“I will do anything for my mum.”
Back in July, Channel 4 fans celebrated the pair’s shock return to the show.
The TV presenter and his mum first joined Celebrity Gogglebox in 2019 and took part in two series before the pair took a break in 2021.
