Rylan Clark details mum's 'nightmare' fall in first radio show since drama

Rylan Clark detailed his mum's "nightmare" holiday hell after being rushed to hospital in Spain before being flown back on a private jet. The former X Factor star returned to his show on BBC Radio 2 for his first broadcast since the ordeal.

Explaining exactly what happened to his 71-year-old mum Linda, whom he stars alongside on Celebrity Gogglebox, Rylan revealed her recovery process. Speaking on his first show back on Saturday, he said: "Unfortunately, decided to take mummy Linda on holiday…

"She's not been away for 10 years. And what (did) she going to do? Falls over and breaks an arm and leg, what (are) you going to do? Classic Linda, classic Linda. Now a little broken arm and a leg, (I) can deal with that but when you take that up with everything else (that) is wrong with her? Nightmare, especially abroad."

He added: "But we are both back, mummy Linda is home safe and sound, she is recovering, she’s chilling out. There’s honestly, for want for a better term, I don’t mean this in a rude way, it’s like someone’s died.

"The amount of people that have been around the house, there’s flowers. It’s all gone on. All the neighbours come out. It was like someone had come home from war." Rylan let broadcaster Scott Mills take over his show briefly from September 1.

"My priority at the moment is my mum," he explained at the time, referring to her "bad fall". Taking to Instagram, he thanked healthcare service Helicopteros Sanitarios, a Malaga-based business that uses helicopters and airplanes.

"The hospital looked after mummy so well so muchas gracias," he wrote. "It was a five-star hotel, the hospital, they had champagne on the menu, I nearly checked in myself, and you should have seen the physio (physiotherapist), I nearly broke my own arm, oh my god."

The star explained he would be missing his radio show, but a replacement was drafted in, as he rushed off to help his mum. Rylan previously told fans: "Cheers to scott for covering me at radio 2 and Thanks to the people out there 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 x."
