Many put Amber at ease with their responses.
One said: "I have literally just watched the same video, I had to pause before continuing as I knew I'd have a panic attack."
Another added: "I watched that today and it made my chest feel tight! Horrendous."
Amber replied to one fan: "I knew it was a fear of mine But I didn’t think I’d have a full on panic attack and throw up over it! Blocking the word 'caving' from my account."
Meanwhile Amber was also one of 14 famous faces to take part in this year's series of Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins.
The Love Island champ broke down in tears in the opening episode of the Channel 4 show, crying: "I can't do it!"
She got emotional following two brutal tasks on the first day of the punishing regime.
Amber was in bits after a hardcore initial day, one which involved a challenge where the recruits had to inhale CS gas.
What is a panic attack?
They’re a type of exaggerated physical response to fear, which can occur when you’re in danger, under stress or over-excited.
The body has something called a ‘fight or flight’ mechanism, which is important when you are coping with an emergency situation. are triggered when you’re feeling anxious.
Adrenalin floods into your bloodstream, making your heart beat harder and faster and sending more blood to your muscles - readying you for ‘fight or flight’.
People experience panic attacks in slightly different ways, but common symptoms include:
- Your heart will beat very fast
- You’ll feel faint, dizzy or light-headed
- You might feel sick or your stomach might churn
- You might shake or sweat
- Some people get chest pains which make them think they’re having a heart attack
- You might not be able to breathe normally or properly
- Your mouth may feel dry
- You could feel disconnected from your mind, your body or your environment
- You might feel terrified that you’re going to die
The beauty was the first to leave the show.
She recently revealed that Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins made her realise that she needed therapy.
Amber told us in an exclusive interview: “The truth is, I haven’t had an easy life. I think that’s my thing. I don’t share the bad things that have gone on in my life that I probably should.
“I learned from the show that I need to share a lot more of myself because I keep this barrier up.
“In camp, people were talking about things they’ve been through in life and I was kind of shocked because I don’t talk about that stuff.

“So I started going to therapy after being on the show because it’s not normal to not want to share parts of your life — to be closed off and guarded.
