Vogue William’s has opened up about how hard it can be living with anxiety.

The model explained that during her break-up with Brian McFadden it was at its worst.

Speaking about the effects of the disorder, Vogue told the Sunday Mirror: “It is horrible. Sometimes I wouldn’t want to go out. I keep myself to myself and I am not one for going out with huge groups of people anymore.

“I have started wearing gum shields again because I grind my teeth really badly when I go to bed.”

She also added that it is a difficult thing to talk to people about.

“It is really weird and hard to explain to people.

“I will get a racing heart and my whole body is tense. I will get knackered after a day if I have been anxious. I’ve had it since my early 20s.”

Vogue married former Westlife star Brian McFadden in 2012 but the couple split up in 2015.

She explained that that break-up made the condition harder to deal with.

“I had it before but going through that made it so much worse. I had a really bad back for a while and had to go on medication, so that made it worse.

“That was when I was at my lowest. I was on a beta-blocker – it blocks the symptoms of anxiety. I wasn’t sleeping… or I was getting an hour a night.”

The star is now seeing Made in Chelsea’s Spencer Mathews and says she is very happy.

“He is my best pal,” she said.

“I remember thinking we would be best friends forever. It is the first relationship where I don’t have fights with people. We have disagreements, but that’s okay.”
