'My only frustration is just I want her to get better. I want her to remember things'

Fiona Phillips' husband, This Morning boss Martin Frizell, has opened up about his wife's heartbreaking Alzheimer's diagnosis last year which came as a shock as the former ITV broadcaster was only 61-years-old.

Martin, 64, has been devoted to being by his wife's side since the news broke out. Speaking to the Mirror about the past few months he explained: "My only frustration is just I want her to get better. I want her to remember things. I want the apathy to go and I want this person back who was vibrant and interested in things and eager to do new things..."Fiona was visibly moved, but also a little confused by her husband’s response. "Really?" she said.

Martin laughed and added: "That's too kind Fiona... I have absolutely ramped it up... Before I didn't ever have to worry about Fiona before and now I do... 'What is she doing all day while I'm at work? What is she doing in the evening if I'm out? what has she eaten?'" "We got in touch with a menopause specialist who took her under their wing and put her on HRT but while that improved some symptoms, the brain fog remained."
