The 61-year-old shared her experience with the menopause - and how she initially put side effects down to her high-pressured job.
She said: "I mean, it was basically my husband who said to me what I was going through. He said, ‘you need to get help, you need to go see the doctor because you're not yourself.’
"You're used to getting too anxious, in pain… you’re tired…"
She added: "And I just thought all of that was just the demands of the job. I got up very early, but I was always able to cope with all of that. I was sort of thriving on stress and the buzz of telly."
Lorraine first started experiencing difficulties while abroad in Spain.
"It was horrible, and it crept up on me and all of a sudden, I remember vividly," she previously said.
In 2019, the Scottish TV star - who also features on Celebrity Gogglebox - added: "I was sitting with Steve and we were away in Spain and it was lovely, beautiful weather and all gorgeous and I just felt completely flat, I had no joy in my life at all.
'"Of course I’m so lucky, I have a fantastic husband, great job, all of that and it was just horrific."
