Jason Manford, 41, took to Instagram yesterday to share an update on his grandmother’s health, after fans had been asking about her. The comedian uploaded a series of pictures from his hospital visit to his beloved “nana”, as he admitted the situation was “heart-breaking”.
In a lengthy caption, Jason explained that his grandmother, who suffers from dementia, has not been eating despite his family’s efforts to “get her home”.
He penned: “I know a lot of you have been asking about Nana Manford and how she is doing.
“She loves that when I tell her. Unfortunately she’s still in hospital.
“Everyone is doing everything they can to get her home but she’s just stopped eating (even when given a box of her favourite chocolates for Mother’s Day!) not sure why, she says she wants to come home, knows that eating will help this, but for whatever reason, maybe her dementia, she just won’t eat.”
