• Phillips and her husband published Remember When: My Life with Alzheimer’s on July 17 to give her purpose and raise awareness of younger-onset dementia.
• In the brief Instagram clip she appeared in good spirits as she savoured an ice cream during a London park stroll and thanked fans for reading her book.
• Her husband, Martin Frizell, stepped down as This Morning’s editor earlier this year to become her full-time caregiver and has spoken about her escalating anxiety, delusions and pain.
• Excerpts from Martin’s media appearances and the memoir describe Fiona’s severe memory loss, including failure to recognise her son, and her need for help with routine personal care.
