Loose Women star Penny Lancaster burst into tears as she opened up about her anxiety battle while going through menopause on Monday's show.
The former model, who is married to Rod Stewart, broke down crying as she revealed she feels like she's 'losing her grip' on her mental health.
Recalling a recent tearful doctor's visit, the ITV panellist, 50, became teary as she tried to explain how she has been struggling.
Comforted by panellists by her fellow panellists, Ruth Langsford asked "Are you alright?"
Penny was forced to stop talking as she choked back tears, before adding: "You feel guilty for being upset.
Penny added, with her voice tightening at the end of her sentence: "You feel guilty for being upset.
"You burst into tears and you don't know why you're crying."
Penny was passed a tissue and went on to wipe the tears from her face.
She and said: "My anxiety's gone through the roof and where I've always been very patient, I feel like I'm losing grip."
Penny previously revealed she started menopause during lockdown after confusing her symptoms with coronavirus.
She admitted she was worried she had caught the deadly bug after waking up with terrible night sweats.
The model told the Loose Women panel she grew concerned after her temperature kept soaring up and down - before realising her last period was in March.
She also said she began to suffer from bad dreams and weight gain - which are symptoms of menopause women suffer as they reach their mid 40s.
Penny shared on Loose Women: "I had a dream that my little one drowned, woke up in a complete panic and was getting these severely hot sweats and thought I was going to pass it to the family."
She added that she realised it was not Covid-19 but that she was going through 'the change'.
Penny explained: "I started the menopause, I had my last period in March so I am at that age now."
She also admitted how Rod is dealing with her symptoms and how hard finds it to manage the change in her hormones and mood swings.
