The comedian went on to sadly reveal that Nana Manford is no longer eating as she remains in hospital, writes The Mirror.In the update Jason said that the situation was "heartbreaking".He wrote: "Unfortunately she's still in the hospital.
Everyone is doing everything they can to get her home but she's just stopped eating (even when given a box of her favourite chocolates for Mother's Day!)"Not sure why, she says she wants to come home, knows that eating will help this, but for whatever reason, maybe her dementia, she just won't eat."He added: "It's heartbreaking if I'm honest, especially to see my dad upset.
But we're staying strong as a family, lots of laughs and spent more time than was necessary rubbing hand cream into those 99-year-olds hands...thanks again for all your kindness in messages."And many friends and fans of the comedian sent lovely words in the comments.
