Cape Town - Nick Cannon is currently guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show this week and now, he has given an emotional update on Wendy Williams’ recovery. Detailing a phone call between him and the talk show host, he told the audience that Wendy “sounded amazing”.
"Honestly, she sounded amazing, y'all," Nick said.
"We jumped on the phone and first thing she said was, 'Nick Cannon! How you doin'?' I didn't know what to expect at first but her spirit was so big. It was so amazing."
He added, "And you know what was really awesome? She said she wanted to speak as a family unit - I talked to her, [her husband] Kevin and [her son] Little Kevin, they said they are all good "
“The love and the passion is still there because that's what you need in times like this, is for your family to stick together with you."
Nick then revealed that while on the phone with Wendy and her family, their conversation “got a little emotional”, "It did because when I spoke to her she just said she feels all of your love," he explained.
"And she knows that there's probably a lot of questions that haven't been answered and stuff but as someone who also deals with an autoimmune condition -- I was diagnosed with Lupus before -- I know that when you go through these things and these flare-ups and stuff, you never know. It's day by day."
"One day you can be strong, and the next day you can't even get out of bed," he added emotionally.
"She sounded so strong and she wanted to thank each and every one of you. And, yeah, we were tearing' up!"
