Basically the title I need to do this asap as I'm applying soon

New for this year (i.e. for 2024 entry onward) the reference contains three distinct sections. In one of these, your referee is asked to enter any information about extenuating circumstances which may have impacted the applicant's education and achievement. So, make sure your referee is aware of your extenuating circumstances and make sure they include them in the reference.

See here for further details, including some examples.

Its also worth contacting each of your intended Unis as most will have a separate form for you to complete - example : https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/after-you-apply/your-application/extenuating-circumstances/
Note that depending upon the circumstances some universities might expect you to resit during your gap year to improve your grades.
