Rylan Clark marks mum’s birthday as he gives update after hospital dash

Rylan Clark paid tribute to his mum on her 73rd birthday following her hospital dash on Friday. The popular presenter skipped hosting his Radio 2 show on Saturday as he dashed to be by her side, with the star taking to social media to reveal the “antibiotics have worked” as she recovered from her illness.

Thankfully, she was back home in time for her birthday this weekend and Rylan shared a carousel of sweet pictures taken with mum Linda as he captioned the post: “Happy Birthday to the best mum. So glad ur home for it. Love you.” The first picture saw the two smiling lovingly at each other as they posed in front of a wall of flowers.

Friends and fans rushed to the comment section to wish her a happy birthday, with Cat Deeley, Fearne Cotton, Rob Riner, Alexandra Burke and more posting messages to her.

Another fan added: “Awww, glad she is home and ready to be spoilt.” Her birthday celebrations come after Rylan revealed she was rushed to the hospital.

Rylan, who appears with Linda on Celebrity Gogglebox, shared the news in a statement on the platform on Friday. He began by writing in the message: “Mummy Linda isn’t well, sadly, so I won’t be hosting the show tomorrow.”

The presenter continued by telling his followers: “Thank you to the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Especially Tanya, who really looked after my mum. Will keep you updated as she’s on the mend. She’s a trooper.”

On Saturday, he shared a positive update with followers on Instagram and said: “Antibiotics have worked. Letting her home on orals. So she’s home for her bday.”

He added: “Cheers, everyone, for your messages. Means a lot. Off sort wheelie bins x.”

Rylan had also updated fans earlier on but didn’t detail why Linda had been hospitalised. He said, “She’s all good. Hoping she will be at home for her bday. She’s now worried about wheelie bins going out again.”
