Overview

• An excerpt of Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer’s describes Phillips’s 2005 Strictly Come Dancing experience under Brendan Cole as “incredibly traumatic,” leading her to block out much of it.
• Martin Frizell posted that Phillips recently recalled meeting F1 driver Lando Norris at the 2022 British Grand Prix, marking a rare moment of clear memory amid her decline.
• The memoir, due July 17, chronicles Phillips’s cognitive challenges and critiques the lack of treatment pathways and support for younger-onset Alzheimer’s.
• Frizell, who left his ITV This Morning editor role in early 2024, remains her primary carer, assisting with showering, dressing and dental care.
• Phillips aims to use her personal account to destigmatize early-onset dementia and push for better awareness and support services for patients and carers.
