“It was life-changing. I had a patch on my bum, which I switched twice a week. It kicked in quickly – a month or two later and Steve (her husband) said to me: ‘I’ve got your back. It’s about informed choice, isn’t it? We should all have that,” she said.

She shared that the first perimenopausal symptoms which had started appearing in her late 40s were terrible.
“I was just flat. And joyless. It crept up on me,” she shared.
“I just thought I was working too hard. But I wasn’t sleeping, I had no interest in anything. So clearly, there was something else going on,” she added.
According to her, post-menopause females are no longer employable on screen.
“I will carry on as long as people want to watch but I never take it for granted,” she adds.
