Difficult time: Appearing on Lorraine in 2018, she admitted that she had mental health problems while caring for her two children and her mother and father, who had both been diagnosed with Alzheimer.
Fiona told Lorraine Kelly that she felt she had to “keep juggling” her work as a TV presenter for breakfast in addition to raising two children and caring for her parents, who have since passed away.
She said, ‘Don’t you have to? Otherwise, I would have had two parents with Alzheimer’s and I would be homeless because we could not pay the mortgage.
“All the time my emotions were torn apart – I should be with my children, I should be with my parents … you know what it is.” You must have a home for your children and food on the table.

Fiona also admitted that her mother suffered from depression during her childhood and admitted that she was also unprepared for the effect that menopause would have on her body.
She said, “My poor mom, when we were little, she used to shut herself up in the bedroom for a day in the dark because she was so, so depressed. I think it can also work in families.
“Things happen to you… and menopause is horrible! I remember my mother in real condition with her menopause and I just thought, “It can’t be that bad” – and yes, it can.
“Anxiety in all kinds of things you might never have had before.” Suddenly you are overwhelmed by things. “
