“I was getting more and more tired but I had just moved home, was doing a new series of the Festive Foodie and then there was Christmas,” she says. “I also spent the new year catering for the masses and I was feeling exhausted. Andrew kept on at me to go to the doctor and I finally went on January 3.
I got blood tests done at 12.30 that day and then at 4.30 that afternoon I got a call from my doctor saying he didn’t wish to alarm me but that I should go to A&E immediately as my iron levels were critically low.
“Apparently they should be 150 and mine were 50!
My iron levels were so low that the doctors told me I shouldn’t even have been up and walking, I shouldn’t have been able to function.”
