Michael Schumacher cannot speak, according to Flavio Briatore's former wife.
Briatore, who was the F1 legend's boss at Benetton, and Italian model and TV personality Elisabetta Gregoraci divorced in 2018.
Gregoraci is currently taking part in the Italian version of Big Brother.
When asked by a fellow housemate about the health condition of Schumacher, which is not known publicly, Gregoraci reportedly said: "He does not speak. He communicates with his eyes.
"Only three people can go and see him."
Gregoraci also claims that the Schumacher family has moved from Switzerland to Spain.
"They moved to Spain and his wife made a hospital in the house," she said.
Meanwhile, the San Raffaele hospital in Milan has announced that Alex Zanardi has "started to react" to visual and acoustic stimuli after another head and facial operation.
