She said: “I came off the wine, and upped tablets to sleep, so I went to see someone and they gave me something else – and I won’t name it – but it gave me bad anxiety and depression, and my OCD kicked into overdrive.
“I was like a mad woman cleaning every day. At one point I was having four baths a day, I was washing my bedding every day.
“People joke when they hear someone talking about OCD, but it’s not actually a joke, it took over my life.”
