Glastonbury host Jo Whiley once opened up about how difficult it is looking after for her disabled sister, Frances.

Jo Whiley – who is covering Glastonbury coverage this weekend – once opened up about caring for her disabled sister. “‘You should take this medicine’, ‘you should lock her in this room’, you should do this‚ and there is no answer that is what we have found out over the 40-odd years of having Frances, that there is no particular way to deal with her because it is so unpredictable, her behaviour,” she said. In June 2023, in an Instagram post, Jo shared snaps from Frances’ birthday, in which she spoke about how her sister is now living in care.
