Martin Frizell, husband of former GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips, has provided a candid update on her worsening condition since her early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2022. In an interview with ITV's Lorraine, Frizell shared a recent photo and revealed that Phillips no longer remembers Christmas or New Year.
Despite the memory loss, Frizell insisted that his wife is still 'very much with us' and described her as 'the world's most stubborn woman'. He joked that she would dislike the photo because of her hair colour, but stressed she remains herself around the house.
Frizell also spoke about the difficulties of travelling with Phillips, who now rarely understands where she is going and repeatedly asks what is happening. He admitted the stress was 'unbearable' but acknowledged that his self-pity was insignificant compared to her experience.
Phillips, now 65, previously told The Mirror that she was 'shattered' by the diagnosis, as both her parents died from Alzheimer's complications. She expressed hope that her story could help find a cure for others in the future.
