And he took time out from his presenting duties, TV appearances and social media.
Returning to Celebrity Gogglebox for the new series tonight, Linda was asked about the last series by This Morning host Alison.
Opening the interview, she said: “It’s a pleasure seeing you. It’s lovely that you’re back because there was a little bit of a break where you wasn’t very well Linda, how are you now?”
“Well it wasn’t me that weren’t well,” she said.
At the time it was like: ‘Mummy’s not too well with her Crohn’s,’ but no, it was actually me that wasn’t too well last year.
“It wasn’t,” Rylan admitted.
“It was actually me last year, I wasn’t too well.
