"My mum has cared for him so brilliantly. He is now in a wonderful home, where they take amazing care of him.
"It's been hard on my mum but she was at breaking point. He is ok, but it is f***king heartbreaking this illness. The worst thing is the loss of dignity... there are great inroads being made into new treatments... I heard of great hope of a new one in Australia very recently.
"2/3rds of Alzheimer's patients are women... taking HRT is known to reduce your risk of getting it.
"If you know anyone with Alzheimer's, @alzheimerssoc are so helpful, my heart goes out to anyone supporting a loved one with Alzheimer's or anyone that's lost someone to this cruel illness.
"And a heartfelt thank you to my mum, you are the best Gabba. Love you."
Davina's fans were quick to send her support by commenting on her post.
