Jo Whiley Faces Challenging Christmas with Sick Parents

Jo Whiley's upcoming Christmas will be significantly altered as she focuses on providing care for her parents, both of whom are facing serious health challenges. Her mother is currently experiencing considerable pain and is awaiting three surgical operations, which have left her notably weaker than before.

Adding to the family's concerns, Whiley's father has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The DJ has acknowledged the profound impact of her father's declining health on the entire family, describing it as an 'incredibly challenging' period.

Whiley is actively organizing professional assistance to alleviate the pressure on her parents. She notes their reluctance to accept outside help due to a desire to maintain normalcy for their daughter Frances, who has Cri Du Chat syndrome.
