The model, who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020, candidly admitted that she had been on antidepressants for most of her adult life and that adding more chemicals to the mix proved too much.
Speaking to New magazine, she said, “My brain chemicals were all messed up, them [the new medication] didn’t agree with my brain and I ended up having a seizure’.
The famed reality star left the ITVbe show last year, telling the publication she did so because her mental health was ‘not in a good place’.
The terrifying seizure happened in April 2021 when she advertised her clothing brand MyGlamStyle.

An ambulance was called to her Wilmslow mansion, which she shares with her footballer husband Phil Bardsley, 37, and their children.
An insider told MailOnline at the time: ‘It was absolutely terrifying and everyone was screaming and fearing the worst. She is now discharged, but this has clearly been an extremely scary 24 hours for the family.
“She is so thankful for the incredible ambulance and hospital staff, who were nothing but amazing the entire time.”
Despite claiming at the time it was just exhaustion, she told the magazine that her newly diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was actually to blame.
She admitted, “It was the ADHD, the new medication. I was completely overworking myself because my brain was going 100 miles an hour’.
The beauty went on to say that thankfully she had no further seizures and thanked her footballer beau for helping her on her way to recovery.
“My husband put me in what I call Tanya Prison, I wasn’t allowed to use my phone – he would hide it. He was like, ‘You need to stop doing so much’.
