OHMYGOSSIP — Candice Brown has opened up about how her ADHD diagnosis has affected her mental health.
The 36-year-old star – who won ‘The Great British Bake Off’ in 2016 – was diagnosed with ADHD in January 2020, and she admitted since then her mental health has “taken a huge dip”.
She said : “It is so much worse now. My mental health has taken a huge dip the last couple of years. People are sort of saying at the moment, ‘We know you’re quite bad because we’re struggling to be with you.’
“One of the things with me and the ADHD and the anxiety, and when they battle – and they fight against each other. It’s just a whole minefield but I’m working on it.”
Candice revealed one of her biggest downfalls is procrastinating, a problem she only seems to combat when under pressure.
She said: “Give me four hours to do something and I’ll take 10.
“Give me four hours to do something and people watching and pressure, like ‘Bake Off’ – when I have no choice but to do it – I do it. I’ve always been called icy but that’s genuinely me trying to focus.”
Despite enjoying success after winning the popular baking show, Candice has faced a backlash from some online trolls following her victory.
She told Vicky Pattison’s ‘The Secret To’ podcast: “I worked so hard because I knew I had to. But that wasn’t enough for people, it had to be another reason. What has the world come to?”
