Imogen Thomas reveals she 'cries herself to sleep' after learning her mother has a terminal illness - and admits she feels jealous of able-bodied families who get to live normal lives


The Big Brother star, 41, said that the diagnosis had been a 'huge gamechanger' and explained she was now focusing on caring for her.

She described how on a recent holiday to Spain, her mother was unable to get into the pool because of a rusty seat and the pair weren't given disabled-friendly sun loungers and the star was forced to pay extra so her mum could enjoy herself. The star revealed that she has already had to use her savings and raise funds through GoFundMe to pay for specialist equipment and treatment but conceded that she was lucky to have been able to access private healthcare. Imogen added that by sharing Janet's diagnosis she is hoping she can raise awareness of MND, and help her mother to connect with others 'who understand what she is going through'.
