RYLAN Clark has shared a health update on his mum Linda after she suffered a nasty fall on holiday – saying it was an “absolute nightmare”.
The TV presenter, 34, said Celebrity Gogglebox star Linda, 71, was on the mend after she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery last month.

Former It Takes Two star Rylan said he splashed out on private jet to fly his mum home.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Rylan recalled the incident and said: “It was an absolute nightmare.
“She is good, she is recovering. I am round there every day and she is hobbling about.”
The TV favourite, who has joined forces with Homesense to become their first ever scent sommelier, said he even enjoyed a private view of the cockpit during the flight.
Rylan continued: “Everyone won’t realise mum is 71 because of how she is but her body is 71 and if she falls over she’s broken her arm and her leg
“It would have been cheaper to leave her out there but I thought, I can’t do that.
“My first experience on a private jet was on a medical one, how’s your luck.
“They were lovely, we had a lovely time.
“I got to sit in the cockpit for landing. When you pay the money they let you do what you want. I was like, ‘Strap her in, I’m going up front’.”
Last month, radio star Rylan revealed that his beloved mum needed surgery after the “bad fall”.
At the time he described Linda as “not in the best of health” and said her other conditions had complicated the matter.
Sharing a picture of his mum’s hand on Instagram, he wrote: “Mum is out of surgery. All went well. Asked me if she can still have a new driveway…. She’s deffo come round. Thanks for all your lovely messages.”

Rylan was also forced to skip his own BBC Radio 2 show shortly after the accident to be with his mum.
He said: “So unfortunately I took my mum away on her first holiday in a good few years and sadly she’s had quite a bad fall, resulting in her having to have surgery out here.
“She’s not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated.
“My priority at the moment is my mum.
“Cheers Scott for covering me at radio 2 and Thanks to the people out here that have sent their well wishes.
“Praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Will update you on mummy. Linda as and when I can.”
Last year Rylan spoke to Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast about Linda’s struggle with Crohn’s disease.
She was previously forced to take time off from Gogglebox due to a flare up of the incurable condition.
Speaking about his bond with his mum, he said: “I cannot imagine my life without her. I mean she has gone through quite a lot with her health, she has got Crohn’s disease.
“She is on a drip feed now like pretty much 24/7 whenever she can get on it.
“I will do anything for my mum. Like, she will not listen.
“Gogglebox is the easiest thing I have ever done because I literally sit on my kitchen sofa and they go, ‘right here we go’ and I don’t have to say a word.
“It is the easiest money I’ve ever made in my life because I press one button and she’s off. And she literally has no idea.”
