Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha revealed she was suffering badly with anxiety on Tuesday morning. Nadia explained on her Instagram Stories: "I'm having one of those really annoying mornings this morning, where I woke up just so anxious and stressed about everything. And then what happens to me is I then feel guilty, because I think: 'My god look at your bloody life, what do you feel stressed about? What do you feel anxious about?' Thought I'd share with you how I'm feeling much better than I did when I first woke up."

How did she quell her anxiety? The 54-year-old continued: "So I did a really good meditation by Jonathan Lehmann, just a ten minute one. Then I had a little stretch, and now I'm out with my dogs!"
