Busted Matt's terror as mum suffers stroke
MATT JAY has been left devastated after his mother suffered a stroke while he was at her side.

The BUSTED star has kept a bedside vigil since Linda, 44, fell ill.

She was with Matt on a break in Wales when she collapsed at the weekend.

The terrified singer rushed her to hospital then cancelled his engagements to remain with her.

A friend said: “Matt is so shaken up by what happened — it was such a shock.

“He had a few days off so he took Linda to Wales for a treat — he thinks the world of her and wanted them to spend some quality time together.

“The collapse came completely out of the blue.

“Matt rushed her to the nearest hospital where he was told she had suffered a stroke. She is now recovering back at her home in Surrey and Matt has been by her side since it happened.

“But he has to leave for America today to start filming for an MTV reality show.

“His mum’s more important than any TV deal but he has been reassured by doctors that Linda will be OK.

“Family and friends will also be on hand to look after her.”

Matt, whose No1 hits include Thunderbirds/3am and Crashed The Wedding, will jet off to the US today with bandmates JAMES BOURNE and CHARLIE SIMPSON for three-and-a-half weeks.

This is not the first time Matt has suffered family heartache.

Last year his schizophrenic uncle Nigel was found dead in a caravan he had been squatting in after lying there for eight weeks.

Since Busted’s breakthrough hit What I Go To School For two years ago, Matt has used his new-found wealth to help his family.

He spent his first pay cheque on a new wheelchair for sister Amanda, who has cerebral palsy, and a car so she can be driven around.

I hope Matt’s exploits in America help to take his mind off troubles at home.

Last month I revealed Busted, who have had four UK No1s, had signed up to star in an OSBOURNES-style show to be aired around the world.

The series will show how the boys get on trying to crack America — and could make them household names in the States.



omg the poor lad ..hope his mum is ok!

Aww - bless him - he must have been really scared

[Minz]

And he has to go off to the US now...

[the_admin]

Can't remember who told me first, but all I did was: *stops breathing*

Horrible. I can't even imagine how he must feel with going to the US and all now.. Seriously, I would've dropped the US and stayed with my mother.

[Kolakube]

He can't stay in the UK - The TV show contract is probably legally binding meaning that MTV will sue if he refuses to go to the States

[menna]

so, at the end of the day its his mum

[vickz]

nar he gone!
it was in the paper she was surrounded by family so he wen an legal contract are bindin so they cud have forcefully made him go!
or he wud av been fined at lot of money lots more than its worth to break the contract!!
y did i no that??? i didnt do law ?

[Kolakube]

I know it's his mum - but like we've already said, it's not like he was leaving her alone. They're back in 3 1/2 weeks apparently

[the_admin]

Ooo. I was already going to say, you can't stay there for six weeks with the knowledge that your mum's health is unstable . But this changes everything! Well. Sort of.

Anyway, he has my support, whatever he's going to do.

He stayed with her for a few days, and to be honest, if he's gone to America then she can't be that bad, can she?
