Holly Willoughby sends love to 'remarkable' Fiona Phillips after tough diagnosis

This Morning host Holly Willoughby praised TV presenter Fiona Phillips on Wednesday, following the news she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Holly began: "We are starting with a story that is very personal to this show actually... it's personal because Fiona is married to our editor Martin. Vanessa then said: "I've known Fiona for over 30 years. She is a remarkable person, she's incredibly bright, amazingly quick thinking, highly intelligent... I can barely imagine how this must be affecting her, she's such an exceptional person... my heart goes out to her, I have never admired her more."

The 62-year-old Mirror columnist was told she had the illness a year ago after suffering months of brain fog and anxiety. "I felt more angry than anything else because this disease has already impacted my life in so many ways; my poor mum was crippled with it, then my dad, my grandparents, my uncle. It just keeps coming back for us."
