Veteran broadcaster Alastair Stewart and his wife Sally opened up about his vascular dementia diagnosis on BBC Breakfast Wednesday. The respected former ITV News anchor, now 72, disclosed that he was diagnosed with early onset vascular dementia back in 2019. Discussing the impact of the disease on his everyday life during the BBC appearance with Sally, he shared: "My professional life is okay, I still do a bit for GB News, they're very supportive.
