I LOVE MYSELF NOW'

Martine McCutcheon opens up about her health battles and embracing who she is

- 

It's never easy to share a diagnosis, especially when you're in the public eye, yet Martine McCutcheon has bravely revealed she has ADD, a type of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It's not the first time the star has opened up about her health either. For years she's suffered with Lyme disease, chronic conditions ME [myalgic encephalomyelitis], also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia, which causes all-over pain.

Yet despite these tough battles, which previously left Martine, 48, relying on a wheelchair, she remains a beacon of positivity and now takes a slower approach to life. 'Don't let the most important moments of your life go because you're running so fast you don't even see them,' she says.
