'It doesn't end' Radio 2's Jo Whiley gives update on sister after terrifying health battle
Earlier this year, Jo Whiley began campaigning for people with learning difficulties to be given the coronavirus vaccine as a matter of propriety. The radio star made her comments after her sister Frances, 53, who has a learning disability and diabetes, was struck down by the virus.
In February, Jo pulled out of her BBC Radio 2 show after her sibling was admitted to hospital.
The 55-year-old said she felt “scared” when informing listeners of her absence.
She tweeted at the time: “I can’t do my @BBCRadio2 show this evening. My sister Frances is v poorly in hospital with Covid.
“I don’t feel shiny or happy tonight, I feel very scared,”(sic) she continued.
