OHMYGOSSIP — Candice Brown was rushed to hospital after suffering a nasty asthma attack.
The former ‘Great British Bake Off’ winner was forced to pull out of her appearance at chef Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park festival in Warwick after falling poorly on Saturday (03.07.21).
Alongside a picture from her hospital bed, Candice wrote on her Instagram Story: “My body clearly started fighting a cold and cough in a weird, s*** way and gave me a massive, prolonged asthma attack.”
And while she reassured her fans that she is OK, the TV star suggested her anxiety and phobia didn’t help when she struggled to breathe early this morning.
She added: “I’ve been pumped full of steroids. I have new inhalers. I feel like I’ve been dug up, look like I’ve been dug up and sound like Bane, but I’m alright.
“Anxiety and phobia hasn’t helped. Also I can breathe, which at about 6am this morning I couldn’t speak two words.”
Candice’s hospital dash comes after she previously revealed she suffers with clinical depression, chronic phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The star turned to baking when things got “really bad”, and while she was initially “reluctant” to go on medication, she has been taking “various different” drugs to help out.
She said: “I suffer with clinical depression, chronic phobia and PTSD.
“It’s hard and people don’t realise, it’s a real battle. People might be like, ‘Oh she’s jumping on the bandwagon,’ but they’ve got no idea what has been going on in my brain for the past five or six years.
“It’s been s**t, sometimes I get angry and it’s probably going to be with me forever. When it got really bad, baking was what I would do.
“I’m on medication, I have been for five years, various different ones.”
The 36-year-old baker had to be dragged out of bed by her feet so she would go to work on particularly bad days, and said she experienced “not very nice thoughts of how I could get out of it”.
She said: “At its worse I was being dragged out of bed by my feet and the duvet being shut in the bathroom, so there was nothing on the bed, so I had to get up.
“Those were the really bad days. I had not very nice thoughts of how I could get out of it.”
Candice was initially angry that she would have to “rely” on medication, but now accepts she has a “chemical imbalance”.
She added: “Group therapy taught me that bouts of depression will probably be a reoccurring thing.
“It p****d me off that I would have to rely on things. Now I know it’s not my fault, it’s a chemical imbalance.
“I started on one pill and it makes your body really bad, it was a balance of medication, sleeping pills and diazepam for anxiety.”
