Overview

• Excerpts from Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer’s depict Phillips experiencing severe memory lapses, likening it to chasing a £5 note on a gusty day.
• Phillips received her early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2023 at age 61, prompting husband Martin Frizell to quit his role at This Morning and become her full-time carer.
• During a three-week split driven by her worsening symptoms, the couple reconciled at a Hampshire hotel meeting.
• Frizell candidly writes that he would have preferred a cancer diagnosis to secure established treatment pathways and support packages that Alzheimer’s lacks.
• The full memoir, set for publication on July 17, aims to raise awareness of the personal and systemic challenges faced by Alzheimer’s patients.
