Rylan Clark admits he was the reason for Gogglebox absence

Rylan Clark celebrated mother Linda’s 70th birthday on Wednesday by taking to Instagram to post a sweet message.

The X Factor star, 33, marked the milestone by posting a snap of his mum to his 1.5million followers alongside the caption: “Happy 70th to the best woman in the world”.

Fans were quick to comment on Linda’s age-defying looks as Rylan shared a photo of her relaxing on the sofa.

One wrote: ” I love your mum, she’s hilarious and always makes me laugh on Gogglebox, Happy Birthday, you look amazing for 70″.

Another added: “She doesn’t look 70!”, while a third chimed: “She looks great for 70!”.

“Happy birthday you look amazing, have a great day”, wrote another.

Earlier this month, Rylan gave an update on his mum’s health after Channel 4 viewers noticed she was using a drip during her latest appearance on the show.

The TV personality appears on the celebrity version of the hit show alongside his mum Linda and both have become fan favourites.

Channel 4 viewers were left concerned when many noticed Linda had a drip connected in her arm.

Celebrity Gogglebox fans then took to Twitter to ask Rylan for a health update on his mum after the scenes, with one tweeting: “Rylan is Mum ok? Saw the drip on.”

The former Big Brother contestant quickly responded, writing: “Had a lot of people ask, mum is fine, she has a tpn line for a feed… to do with her crohns. V normal. Thanks for asking xx.”

The Essex duo took a year off the Channel 4 series due to Linda’s battle with Crohn’s disease, which is a chronic inflammation of the intestines.

After undergoing three major operations, Linda told the Mirror she has just 70cm of bowel left, when people typically have 2m.

Linda has been fitted with a stoma bag and her health battle prompted Rylan to install TV monitors in her home to keep a constant watch.

On her health, Linda said: “I’m not well a lot of the time. I have nurses come round every morning and evening to give me a special feed.

“I’ve had Crohn’s since I was 30 and used to be in so much pain I’d be crying all the time.

“It was unbearable – I felt like I wanted to get a knife and punch my stomach open.

“I’ve had three major bowel operations, and with the last one I got a stoma bag.

“Now I don’t have pain, which is a relief, but I’ve got to have nutrition put in me. Everything goes straight through where I’ve hardly got any bowel left.”
