Rylan Clark’s Mother, Linda, Hospitalized After Fractured Shoulder
In a recent incident that has captured the attention of fans and listeners alike, Rylan Clark’s mother, Linda, was rushed to the hospital after suffering a fractured shoulder. The 73-year-old experienced a harrowing fall outside her home while taking out the rubbish. In the midst of a cold snap, she mistakenly mistook ice for water, leading to her slip and subsequent injury.
The Accident
Linda recounted her frightening experience during an appearance on Rylan’s BBC Radio 2 show on January 10. With a tone of disbelief, she shared, "I just went flying and I hurt my arm again." The fall left her arm "black" from bruises and "so sore," highlighting the severity of her injury. Rylan, who was not present at the time, received the news via phone, expressing his concern with a mix of humor and worry. "Well, that was a lovely phone call I got that morning, you on your way to the hospital," he remarked, adding, "I need you to not make it any worse."
Rylan’s Reaction
Rylan’s immediate reaction was one of concern for his mother’s well-being. He emphasized the importance of her being careful, especially given her history of accidents. "It could’ve been worse, it could’ve been your arm and your leg like we’ve had before," he noted, reflecting on past incidents that have caused him distress. Following Linda’s admission to the hospital, Rylan received an outpouring of support from listeners who reached out to send their warm wishes. "So many of you getting in touch," he said, reassuring fans that while she had fractured her shoulder, she was otherwise alright.
A History of Health Scares
This incident is not the first time Linda has caused Rylan to worry. In July of the previous year, he had to pull out of his BBC Radio 2 show after she was rushed to the emergency room with a mystery illness. Rylan took to Instagram to inform fans of her condition, thanking the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital for their care. "Mummy Linda isn’t well sadly so I won’t be hosting the show tomorrow," he wrote, expressing gratitude for the support his mother received.
Recent Health Challenges
In September 2023, Rylan once again asked fans to pray for Linda as she underwent surgery following a serious fall during a holiday they took together. He shared the unfortunate news on social media, stating, "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." His heartfelt message conveyed his concern and hope for her recovery, as he thanked those who had sent their well wishes.
Linda’s Ongoing Health Struggles
Rylan has been open about his mother’s ongoing health challenges, particularly her struggles with Crohn’s disease. He has previously revealed that Linda has faced life-threatening situations due to the condition, having nearly lost her life “three times.” This background adds a layer of depth to the recent incidents, showcasing the resilience of both Rylan and Linda as they navigate these health challenges together.
As Rylan continues to balance his career and family responsibilities, the bond he shares with his mother remains a focal point of his life. The support from fans and the public highlights the compassion and community that surrounds them during these trying times.
