What 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life' Cast Have Said About Babs Since Health News

My Big Fat Fabulous Life cast members have spoken out following the latest update on Babs Thore's health.

The TLC show returned to screens at the beginning of August for Season 10 and a major storyline has been Babs, the mother of the show's main star and dancer Whitney Way Thore, and her health issues.

It was confirmed earlier this year that Babs, who regularly appears on the reality show with her family, had suffered a second stroke after recovering from her first back in 2017.

In the season premiere of My Big Fat Fabulous Life Thore and her family were seen dealing with the aftermath of Babs' stroke and things were not looking good as it was revealed that she had also contracted COVID-19.

But in the next episode, Whitney was left delighted when her father, Glenn, called to let her know that Babs had received the all-clear to move from the hospital to a rehab facility where she could continue her recovery.

After hanging up the phone, Whitney told the cameras: "They're giving her a chance to enjoy the rest of her life. This honestly feels like a dream. It does not even feel real to me. The emotional roller coaster that we have been on, to now end up here, is so amazing."

After the scenes aired on TLC, Babs' family and fellow cast members took to social media to thank fans for their support during Babs' struggles.

Her husband posted a sweet picture of himself giving his wife a kiss while she appears to be lying in her hospital bed.

"Thank you so much for all the support for my beautiful Babs and our family. It means the world to us! See you next Tuesday at 10 p.m. EST on TLC!" he wrote alongside the adorable snap.

Whitney also posted a lovely photo of herself and her mom on Instagram, opting for a black and white shot of their pair cuddled up in bed together.

She simply captioned the photo: "My girl," adding a black love heart emoji.

Whitney's brother, Hunter Thore, had taken to his own Instagram page earlier in August, when My Big Fat Fabulous Life returned to screens, to upload a series of pictures of himself and Babs from his childhood.

He posted a lengthy caption, writing: "Thanks to everyone who tuned in last night to watch the season 10 premiere of #MyBigFatFabLife! It's amazing that we've made it this far! But it's all because of the people who watch.

"The messages I have received about Babs have been incredible. Thank you for all the love and support. Oh, and my mother is the best:) #Babzilla #realityshow #newseason @tlc @discoveryplus."

Elsewhere on My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 10, fans have seen Whitney facing some potential drama with her ex-boyfriend and new co-worker Lennie Alehat.

Whitney has hired her former partner to help her film her online fitness videos and though her friends have doubts about this decision, she has insisted they will be keeping their relationship strictly professional.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 10 airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. Episodes are available to stream on Discovery+ the same day.
