Veteran newsreader Alastair Stewart has given a heartbreaking update of his dementia diagnosis as the former ITV worker admitted his wife has to now dress him.
The 71-year-old said he "can't be trusted" to put his shoes or tie on properly, with his wife Sally now helping out with simple everyday tasks. The couple married in 1978 and share four children together, the Mirror reports.
His wife Sally admitted during a recent interview that the hardest task of all is keeping her cool with his newfound impatience. "If he is looking for a piece of paper, he will go through every drawer, every cupboard," she explained.
She continued talking to the MailOnline: "A room he has been in will look like a bomb site. He's also incredibly impatient with devices and appliances...his reaction is, 'Buy a new one, now'."
Alistair openly admitted that his wife's new role as his carer has taken a toll on his mental health, adding: "I find it depressing that she is reduced to the diary-checker, the carer.
"I mean, before we went out last night she had to check I had the right shoes on the right feet. I can't just jump in the car and go to the corner shop. Depression is the bigger challenge than fear."
The couples candid chat also revealed that although they try and stay positive the reality is the former Channel 4 newsreader could see his health plummet at any moment, with worsening "short-term memory loss" and another stroke all a possibility.
