Gogglebox star Jenny Newby opened up on her arthritis
The reality star opened up about the crippling condition on a previous episode of Gogglebox.
During the Channel 4 show, the cast were seen watching a hard-hitting advert which depicted the harsh realities of living with arthritis. Before watching the advert, Jenny shared: “I’ve got arthritis.”
She later added: “I get more stressed now…”
Lee continued: “…because you can’t fasten my coat. You can’t open a tin of beans.”
Jenny said: “And I’ve got to ask somebody. And that I think is the worst, when I have got to ask somebody because I feel like I am stupid.”
Lee went on to ask: “Have you been in a situation where you don’t really know the person and you needed that help? That must be awful to ask that.”
Arthritis means millions of people have days filled with pain. It’s tough, but talking about it and knowing people around you understand really helps. We need to get arthritis taken seriously.#VersusArthritis #adhttps://t.co/NY5wzvISZ9 pic.twitter.com/OTsLuDShAV
