It comes as Griggs recently gave a health update on her husband Todd.
He was diagnosed with with a basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) last year after missing his routine skin check-ups during the Covid pandemic.
Things went from bad to worse when Huggins went in for surgery and was left with an infection that turned into a ‘serious situation’.
‘He had a skin cancer removed and they didn’t get enough of the margins around it, so when he went back in, he managed to pick up a random infection, which is not uncommon in hospitals,’ Griggs told 7Life.
‘He absolutely lucked out; it was very hairy stuff for a couple of weeks,’ she continued, before adding that her hubby is ‘fighting fit’ again.
