RYLAN Clark has installed cameras in his mum’s home to keep an eye on her as her health deteriorates.
Linda, 69, now has just 70cm of her bowel left, compared to the usual 2m, and has been fitted with a stoma bag following her latest major surgery to help with her Chrohn’s.
While life is a lot more manageable for her, Linda admits she’s “not well a lot of the time” and Rylan he been left concerned about her.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star explained: “I’ve got cameras in Mum’s house, so I can see her and make sure she’s OK.”
Discussing how life is for her now, Linda told The Mirror: “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.
“I’ve only got 70cm of bowel now, so if I have a drink of water I’ve got to empty the stoma straight away. My life is in the bathroom. I don’t know how long it will be until the doctors can’t do any more. I feel alright, but I get down because I can’t go out and I can’t do what I want to do.”
Rylan and his mum are currently appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox and Linda has become a huge hit with the public.
The pair are closer than ever following Rylan’s split from husband Dan Neal last year.
