Jess Wright has candidly admitted she ‘wanted the world to stop’ during her ‘debilitating’ battle with postnatal depression.
The mother-of-one, 39, who shares son Presley, two, with her husband William Lee-Kemp, discussed her trauma in a short BBC film to raise awareness for other people.
The former TOWIE star bravely spoke about her own experience with depression and ongoing battle with anxiety as she spoke to women and families who have also been deeply affected by it.
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.
In the clip which airs Friday, Jess says: ‘Since my mid-twenties I’ve lived with depression and anxiety. I take medication which generally keeps it under control.
‘However, a few days after I had my son Presley I developed depression in a way I’d never experienced before – it was debilitating.

‘I couldn’t enjoy anything with my new son and I wanted the world to stop so I could get off.’
Speaking to Dr Lynsey McAlpine, a Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist, about where women can go for support, Jess revealed she wasn’t given clear advice about her own medication during her pregnancy.
She said: ‘It was quite a grey area when I was pregnant, about the medication that I’m on, whether I should come off it when I’m pregnant.’
Jess added: ‘Having a baby is wonderful but also tough for many people.
‘But knowing where to turn for support, has helped me feel better prepared if I decide to have another child.’
Last year, Jess opened up about her son Presley’s devastating health battle as she revealed she prays to God in hopes that he will be fine.
She announced in August 2024 the devastating news that her son had been diagnosed with a rare congenital heart disease called ‘Bicuspid Aortic Valve’.
Bicuspid Aortic Valve only affects one percent of the population and means the heart valve has only two small parts, called leaflets, instead of the normal three.

Jess and William met in May, 2019, tied in the knot in September, 2021, and then welcomed their first born in May, 2022
In a new interview, the reality star assured that her son is doing well but that he will require monitoring & care over time.
She told Closer: ‘It’s debilitating and it’s awful, but it is what it is. We have to learn to live with it now and pray to God that every result we get is good until he has to have surgery.’
Jess also said that you would never guess anything wrong just by looking at her son because ‘he’s a little dream’.
When asked when Presley will go for surgery, she said that she is unsure at the moment, but explained how she would take away his pain in a heartbeat if she could.
She continued: ‘I would swap my heart with his any day of the week. I pray to God every night that he will be fine.’
