The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, has been suffering a bout of panic attacks in recent weeks - explaining they're so intense she feels like she's going to die.
"I've always suffered from anxiety, but over the past couple of weeks it's been really bad," she told new. "I don't know what has triggered it. I kept trying to ignore it, but then on Mother's Day night it came to a head and I just broke down in tears.
"My throat was closing up and I felt like I couldn't breathe. The anxiety has stayed with me ever since. It's been awful - it can be crippling. There are times where I don't want to leave the house, but I force myself to. I feel like I just want to curl up and hide. It's scary.
I keep thinking, 'What is going on with my body?' I've been in tears saying, 'I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm panicking that I'm going to die.""
