Rylan Clark‘s mum Linda has shared a health update after he voiced concerns about her wellbeing. During his BBC Radio 2 show last weekend, he told listeners that his mum would be joining him for their weekly on-air chat following a break, but revealed that she had recently injured herself.
At the start of his show, he said: “Mummy Linda is going to be back on the phone a bit later on, hopefully she’s alright, she scraped her leg the other day, so that’s been fun. I’m just like okay, yep, here we go, another issue but I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
Later in the programme, Linda confirmed that she was fine before telling him: “You ain’t got to tell everyone thank you.”
Rylan went on to call his mum “a nightmare walking”, following her many other health ordeals.
The 74-year-old insisted that she would no longer do things around the house after her previous accidents.
“You said that before when you broke your arm and leg just falling over,” the 37-year-old replied. She responded: “I get bored and I need to do things.”
Back in January, Linda suffered a fractured shoulder and was left bruised after falling over on ice while taking her bins out.
Last year, she also took a tumble down a retailer’s escalators, leaving her in need of medical attention.
During a holiday in Spain in 2023, she broke her arm and leg, leaving her needing to be escorted back to the UK on a private jet equipped with medical equipment.
Rylan took time off work during this period to support his mother through her surgery and recovery.
Two months later, he shared a photo of her at his Essex home for the first time since the accident, as they celebrated his birthday together.
During the latest episode of his show, Rylan also jokingly urged producers to “sack” him after poking fun at the BBC’s strict advertising rules.
He went on to insist he “didn’t care” about the BBC’s rules while rapper Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Paul Manderson, took part in his Rylexa feature, inspired by Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa.
Introducing the game, Rylan said: “I’ve been creating a new artificial intelligence machine called Rylexa, I’m looking for people to buy shares in it. If you want, we can talk after the show.”
Aware of the broadcaster’s impartiality guidelines, which are in place because UK viewers fund the BBC through the TV licence fee, Professor Green responded: “Sure. There are other AI platforms that you can invest in, isn’t that what you’ve got to say on the BBC?”
Rylan cheekily exclaimed: “But they’re not Rylexa! Who cares? Sack me!”.
