Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell has provided a heartbreaking update on her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, saying she no longer "wants to talk about the A-word."

Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, 24 February, the producer said, “She will just believe she has chronic depression, which she does have.”

In 2023, the former GMTV presenter shared her diagnosis at the age of 61, after initially thinking she was having menopause symptoms.
