The update comes nearly a week after Rylan – who hosts BBC Radio 2 – revealed his mum's fall and how she would be needing surgery. 

"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," he shared. "She's not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated."

The TV star added: "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 x." 

Over the years Rylan has been open about his mum's health battles. He previously shared that Linda has Crohn's disease, a long-term condition that causes inflammation of the digestive system. 

Rylan explained his mum Linda contracted sepsis following a nasty flare-up of the disease. Speaking of the upsetting time, the former X Factor star recalled his mum not being able to make it to watch him perform in live shows. "She only managed to get to one live show," he said on Loose Women. "That was quite upsetting for her to see that."
