Rylan Clark gives heartbreaking health update on his mum after she’s rushed to hospital – as he begs fans for help
RYLAN Clark has given a heartbreaking health update on his mum Linda after she was rushed to hospital.
On September 1 the TV star revealed that told fans that she was going in for surgery after suffering a nasty fall on holiday.
Rylan, 34, issued a statement on Instagram and told fans he would not be able to host his BBC Radio 2 show over the weekend because his mum Linda, 71, was "not in the best of health".
Since then he has been updating fans with how she has been getting on - and begged them for help.
Today Rylan said on X: "My mum has been home 4 days, tried to book her in private (because luckily I can afford that) for her arm and leg, won’t take her because surgery wasn’t done by them, since Friday have been waiting for the NHS hospital to come back to me, have been number 76 in the Queue since this morning finally get through to be told they haven’t received her referral (which they have) my mum is 71 and has other serious health issues.
"I know the NHS is on its knees at the minute but what on earth would she do without family around her.

"I’ve now been told there’s nothing else the gp surgery can do (who have been great) so here with my mum in 2 casts, she needs her stitches and staples removed this week, and then her physio can begin, at a loose end here, any advice from doctors/nurses on here would be great thanks x."
Rylan added: "Or if anyone knows of any private hospitals/ medical groups in the Essex area that would accept her as an outpatient please get in touch, if I can afford for her to go private I’d much rather that as it’s one less patient the already exhausted NHS won’t have to worry about . Thank u x."
Rylan stressed that he wasn't criticising the NHS, who he said had "saved mum's life countless times".
The worrying turn comes six days after Rylan revealed that he and his mum were finally able to fly home from Marbella.
