Breakfast TV legend spotted going wild at Kasabian gig – can you guess who?
Kelly suffered with bad periods growing up and was misdiagnosed with endometriosis, but was later told that she has polycystic ovary syndrome (now polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome).
According to the NHS website, endometriosis is “where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body”, while PMOS is “a hormone condition that can affect hair growth, periods, fertility and mood”.
After the birth of her first child, it was found that she had adenomyosis, which the NHS defines as “where the lining of the womb (uterus) starts growing into the muscle in the wall of the womb”.
So the journalist was worried about if she would be able to become a parent again.
She recently told The Telegraph: “As I was three years older and had another gynaecological condition, we didn’t want to leave it too long.”
Kelly and Max have been together for over a decade and got engaged in 2020.
