Anne-Marie has opened up about her secret battle with post natal depression in a candid Instagram post on Saturday.

The singer, 34, who already shares daughter Seven, 18 months, with her rapper husband Slowthai, welcomed a beautiful baby boy in May.

Anne-Marie revealed her head has been ‘all over the place’ over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles.

Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. 

She said: ‘This is the most ‘me’ I’ve felt in a long time. My head has been all over the place. I’ve been pregnant and breastfeeding for over 2 years. 

‘My hormones are mental and I’ve only just started feeling okay. I’ve been through a lot. My body has been through a lot. It’s so hard but I guess cliche to say IT IS worth it.

‘For someone who doesn’t like routines I’ve had to become the person who lives in one. With naps and feeding and meal times. 

‘But I’m through it, still going through it but I feel I’ve come out of the hole. I battled with post natal depression and post natal anxiety, and therapy (yet again) and the people around me pulled me through it.

‘Now I’m back. I’m strong and I’m excited. My blond hair is back. My body is kinda back. 

‘I just have to stop eating chocolate now and saying ‘the baby wants it’ hahahaha damn. Anyway, this caption is too long but just wanted to let you know.’
