Former US talk show host Wendy Williams has thanked fans for their support over her dementia and aphasia diagnosis. Williams, 59, said their response had been "overwhelming" and she had "immense gratitude for the love and kind words" received. She hosted the nationally syndicated Wendy Williams Show for over a decade. Her care team announced her diagnosis on Thursday "to correct inaccurate and hurtful rumours about her health". Hollywood star Bruce Willis also suffers from aphasia and frontotemporal dementia - the conditions meant he had to give up his acting career.
