Linda, 68, has battled with Crohn’s since her 30s, a condition that causes inflammation of the lining of the digestive system.
Rylan’s mum also contracted sepsis in 2018, which almost killed her.
Discussing his return to the show with the Mirror, Rylan said: ‘It’ll be a year away now, we were really lucky to be part of the first one and the second one. It’ll all just depend on what we’re doing and if my mum’s well enough.
‘We’re never gonna say never we don’t know what position we’re going to be in eventually.’

Linda has become hugely popular since her stint on the primetime show, however Rylan admits she has no idea of her level of fame.
He said: ‘She’s not dealing with her fame, she doesn’t really know. She’s not on social media and I’m never gonna let her be.
Previously detailing his close relationship with his mum in a Sunday Times Magazine article, he wrote: ‘My mum, Linda, is my biggest f****** headache, but I don’t know what I’d do without her.

‘She’s got the best of both worlds with me — I’m a son and a daughter. I can talk to her about make-up and blow-dry her hair, and I can tell her to f*** off. She’s a liability. She’s the ultimate cross between the nan from Catherine Tate and Pam from Gavin & Stacey.’
Rylan met his husband Dan after he was a housemate on the 2013 series of Big Brother, while Rylan was hosting spin-off show Bit On The Side.
The couple got engaged in September 2014 and married in November 2015 with stars including Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Amy Childs, Katie Price and Emma and Matt Willis in attendance.

In 2017, Rylan’s stepson Cameron threw his support behind his dads by posing with them in a ‘Come Out For LGBT’ T-shirt for a pride campaign.
Dan captioned the snap of the three of them: ‘My son stands beside us in support of the #LGBT community. We all have a part to play, so #ComeOutForLGBT with us & @stonewalluk’
Stonewall’s campaign was implemented to encourage both gay and straight people to help make schools, homes and the workplace a safer place for LGBTQ+ people.

Rylan said of Cameron in a past interview: ‘I look at him like he’s my own. He can talk to me – I’m Dad, but he can talk to me about sex! I’ll say, ‘As long as you’re being safe!’ If that was Dan, he’d be like, ‘Stop it, Dad!”
He also admitted he’d like to have children of his own one day, adding: ‘I’m already a stepdad but, of course, I’d like to have kids. Since day one I’ve always wanted kids. I love babies.
‘It’s always on the table, it’s just when the time is right. If I did have a baby, I’d be the sort to want a year off just to be a dad. There’s a lot that I’ve got to look at.’
