If her scathing comments placed aside on Twitter, the ex Apprentice star has revealed that she does have what she refers to as a ‘weaker’ side – she has been secretly battling epilepsy for years.
In fact her condition is so severe that she struggles from nocturnal seizures that often leave her arms dislocated.
Katie admits that she sees the condition – which affects more than 500,000 people in the UK – a ‘weakness’ which is why she prefers not to talk about it.
She revealed: ‘I am epileptic. I see it as a weakness, always have done, which is why I hid it for more years than I care to remember.’
The 39-year-old mother of three says she now takes enough medication to ‘floor an elephant’ but despite this she can’t do anything to prevent herself from seizing during the night.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
