Back in 2011, Martine, then-34, was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition that causes long-term fatigue and flare-ups after accomplishing even small physical or mental tasks.

She was later diagnosed with Lyme disease, a condition that can causes rashes, fever, headaches and tiredness, in 2017.

Martine also suffers from fibromyalgia, a medical condition that can cause chronic pain and cramps.

This is thought to be the first time she's spoken about being perimenopausal, which the NHS explains as the time when women experience symptoms a few months or years before their periods stop.

Martine joked that the phrase perimenopausal makes her think of chicken" from Nando's.
