Fiona Phillips has spoken about hiding her Alzheimer’s diagnosis from her two sons. The broadcaster bravely shared her diagnosis publicly after receiving the news at the age of 61.
explained that she was insistent on keeping Nat, 24, and Mackenzie, 21, in the dark for months.
‘And I was worried they might be embarrassed in front of their friends or treat me in a different way. And it’s not like I’m doing anything out of character.’‘But they’re not profound, they’re not ruining people’s lives,’ Fiona argued, to which Martin agreed. ‘My poor mum was crippled with it, then my dad, my grandparents, my uncle. It just keeps coming back for us,’ she said.
