Jonathan revealed he would no longer invite celebrities to his home out of respect for his daughter Betty, 33, and her battle with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes muscle pain and tenderness.
Jonathan, who also shares Harvey, 29, and Honey, 26, with wife Jane Goldman, opened up on Good Morning Britain.
He explained: ‘One of our children is not doing well… it’s fibromyalgia, which is quite debilitating. She is back at home with us and we are taking care of her.
“My daughter, we thought she had Long Covid but discovered she had Fibromyalgia, so we want to be aware of that and not have so much noise when she’s upstairs.”
Jonathan’s daughter Betty previously shared the news of her diagnosis on Instagram, writing: ‘Fibromyalgia? I hardly know her. I hereby let you know that I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
“Shout out to the four people who all said they thought I had fibro, turns out you were all right. There are always a lot of strange feelings associated with a new diagnosis, but this one generally feels like a relief.
