Rylan Clark has been flooded with messages after paying tribute to his mum, Linda, on her birthday. The BBC Radio 2 star shared a photo of Linda holding a glass of wine on a past holiday, captioning it: "Happy Birthday to the best mum anyone could ask for. Love you so much mum @lindaclark still my fave photo of you xxxx."
Celebrity well-wishers
Loose Women's Ruth Langsford responded: "Beauty! Happy Birthday @lindaclark. Have the best day. Love you." Singer Louise Redknapp wrote: "Love her!" Presenter Denise Van Outen commented: "Love your mum! Happy birthday." Steps star Claire Richards posted: "Oh Happy Birthday Linda! You really are the best. Have a great day." Ru Paul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage shared: "The greatest! HBD LINDA." Chef Nigella Lawson also added: "Happy Birthday."
Mother-son bond
Linda has become a familiar face to fans, appearing on Rylan's Saturday radio show and joining him on Celebrity Gogglebox. In an interview earlier this year, Rylan revealed that despite hiring a housekeeper, his mum still calls every Friday to remind him to take out the bins, and occasionally turns up at his Essex mansion to bring them back in. "She has to come around 10am every Saturday morning. The bin men have only just left, she can see the lorry going, and she has to drag them in. Once, she's fallen over the little metal bit of the gates. So, she's done that once," he told the Tea with Nan podcast.
