Jon Snow 'felt struck off' after dementia diagnosis
The Gazette
|June 19, 2026
JON SNOW’S wife Dr Precious Lunga has said they felt people “struck him off” after his dementia diagnosis.
-
The former Channel 4 News presenter, 78, shared this month that he has been living with Alzheimer’s since 2023.
His wife, 51, said on Woman's Hour: “We felt people were striking Jon off. We felt that certainly.
“It wasn’t really due to malice, but a lack of understanding and knowledge about what happens when you have dementia.
“I think people are also fearful of Alzheimer's because we fear we might get it ourselves, and with fear comes stigma.
“With stigma you either want to look away or cover up, but making this film... we wanted people to start having a conversation and dialogue about this”
