Fiona Phillips's husband on life after her Alzheimer's diagnosis
Martin Frizzel, husband of broadcaster Fiona Phillips, has spoken about his frustrations concerning her Alzheimer's diagnosis.
Phillips, 64, was diagnosed with the cognitive condition in 2022 and publicly shared her diagnosis the following year to raise awareness.
Frizzel co-authored Phillips's new book, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, detailing his anger over the lack of support for those with the disease.
He highlighted that despite an estimated one million people in the UK having Alzheimer's, including 70,000 with early-onset, there is very little help available.
Frizzel, who stepped down from This Morning to focus on family, expressed a heartbreaking wish that Phillips had been diagnosed with cancer due to the availability of treatment pathways and support. Frizzel shared that Phillips sometimes becomes confused over who she is.
