Rylan Clark-Neal’s mum was discharged from hospital six weeks after Crohn’s surgery complications so they could spend Mother’s Day together
TV star has revealed his mum is finally home after spending more than a month under the care of doctors
RYLAN Clark-Neal's mum was discharged from hospital six weeks after suffering surgery complications so they could spend Mother's Day together.
The TV host's mum Linda suffers from Crohn's disease and he revealed today that she is finally home after spending more than a month under the care of doctors.
Rylan, 28, revealed Linda went into a hospital in London to undergo an operation relating to her condition but "something went wrong".
She was then kept in for another six weeks as she recovered.
The ordeal was finally over last week when she was discharged and allowed to go home.
He said: "My mum lost her job because of the disease - it totally dictates her life.
"When she was diagnosed it really hit her hard because it wasn’t picked up early enough.
"The earlier you pick it up the easier it is to control.
"I grew up with the disease as well because she was ill – it is life-threatening. It’s scary."
Linda has had to undergo multiple operations over the years to remove damaged parts of her bowel.
The condition is believed to be genetic so Rylan has been tested for the condition.
He added: "I have been tested for it and it is a slight worry but it is my mum that I worry about.
"I hope that if I get it I will be able to manage it well. I know a lot about it but for now I am happy and healthy."
