Former ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart has spoken about his dementia diagnosis and how it has changed his relationship with Sally Ann Jung, his wife of 46 years
ITV News presenter Alastair Stewart has opened up about the 'cruel' reality of living with dementia after being diagnosed. The 72 year old, who is best known for his career on ITV News and GB News, retired from broadcasting last year after announcing that he had been diagnosed with dementia three years prior.
"Sal’s my lover, life partner, my wife since 1978, but she’s also the person who tells me what time to get up and when to change my shirt," he said. "It was Sal who came up with this fabulous expression: she said, 'You’ve got to come out.' So I did, but I felt dreadful about it. It’s humiliating."
