Carol Vorderman has bravely shared her experience with the menopause, explaining that there was a point where she even felt "suicidal at times".

Speaking to Dr. Philippa Kaye, the Countdown star explained that she's "been through all this" as she said: "I've been through the years where we were shamed into thinking we were crazy because we had menopausal symptoms." The star, who recently filled in for Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show after she came down with Covid-19, went on to share how this anxiety turned into depression, leaving her with dark thoughts.

"I started on a bespoke HRT and within 48 hours I felt back to normal and I have never had a symptom since, it is wonderful," she shared.
