Rylan Clark’s mum Linda Clark has revealed she was rushed to hospital after suffering a horror fall outside of her home.
The 73-year-old, who has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox, slipped after mistaking ice for water while taking out the rubbish, resulting in a fractured shoulder.
Speaking live on air to Rylan on his Radio 2 show on Saturday, she told listeners: ‘I just went flying and I hurt my arm again.’
She confirmed she had fractured her shoulder, saying her arm was ‘black’ from bruises and ‘so sore.’
Addressing the moment he found out about the fall, Rylan said: ‘Well that was a lovely phone call I got that morning, you on your way to the hospital.
‘But it could’ve been worse, it could’ve been your arm and your leg like we’ve had before.’

The TV presenter shared his mother ‘isn’t well’ as he confirmed he won’t be hosting his BBC Radio 2 show.
He wrote: ‘Mummy Linda isn’t well sadly so I won’t be hosting the show tomorrow.
‘Thank you to the emergency team at Princess Alexandra Hospital. Especially Tanya who really looked after my mum.
‘Will keep you updated as she’s on the mend. She’s a trooper x’
Rylan previously shared in 2023 his mother suffered a horror fall in Marbella and had to have emergency surgery before they both flew home on a private plane.
Rylan later gave fans an update on her mother’s health, writing: ‘She’s doing really well thankfully. All going good. Cheers for all ur messages x’
He added: ‘She’s doing really well. Now chatting away with a lovely lady next to her. On the mend! Cheers for ur messages. X’
The mother-son duo have been favourites on Channel 4’s Gogglebox since 2019, yet they had to miss the latest series due to Linda’s health.
Rylan has also previously opened up about his mother’s battle with Crohn’s disease.
Linda has battled with Crohn’s since her 30s, a condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system.
She often has to undergo multiple operations to remove damaged parts of her bowel and takes numerous medicines each day for her condition.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic condition, which affects around one in 1,200 people in the UK, causing inflammation of the lining of the digestive system, although it is most commons in the intestines.

It causes symptoms including diarrhoea, intense abdominal pain, weight loss and fatigue.
Linda had to endure a six-week hospital stay due to her ongoing battle with Crohn’s disease back in 2017.
‘She’s not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated,’ Rylan previously said.
In October that year, Rylan revealed that Linda had become well enough to visit his house for the first time in two months amid her health struggles.
Linda also contracted sepsis in 2018, which almost killed her.
Rylan previously opened up to the Daily Mail about his mum’s battle with the illness, which has affected many aspects of her life.
He explained: ‘My mum lost her job because of the disease – it totally dictates her life. When she was diagnosed it really hit her hard because it wasn’t picked up early enough.
‘The earlier you pick it up the easier it is to control. I grew up with the disease as well because she was ill – it is life-threatening. It’s scary.
‘It could be difficult when I was young because sometimes she couldn’t come on school trips and other times she was so embarrassed about her symptoms that I couldn’t have my mates to stay over.’
