Unless it was a transcription typo. Or, the article is a parody.

I appreciate that you think my writing skills are so great I could fake a 5,000 word interview from a five page article.
I don't have the magazine (which is British btw) in front of me right now so I can't tell you if it's a typo or not, however if I were transcribing an interview with an American I would probably write "in hospital" instead of "in the hospital" and "mum" instead of "mom", just as a style point, a lot of magazines do that, it doesn't mean the interview is fake or a parody.
