Petrie opened up on her health while discussing the topic of chronic fatigue.

She said: “The reason I know about chronic fatigue and the effect that it can have on your life, you’ve often heard me mention about my health that I have autoimmune issues.

“The truth is that I have multiple sclerosis and I’m very private about it, I’ve never talked about it.

so I have MS and part of that is fundamentally this chronic fatigue.”

Petrie told fans she’s often told she’s ‘just tired’ and people – including friends – don’t take her condition seriously.

The mum-of-one continued: “They’ve got absolutely no idea and it can hit me at any point and when it does I literally cannot move. I understand chronic fatigue more than I would like to, right.

“And I just thought about it and I thought I can’t ask you to call me and tell me, I can’t say that I know about this without telling you why I know about this.

“So I do, trust me, I understand completely what it’s like and I also understand that people don’t take it seriously. I mean if I’m having a relapse or I’m in one of these processes and I’m supposed to be at a party or I’m supposed to be somewhere and I call it off because I’m tired, people just think I’m being lazy or can’t be bothered to turn up.

“And it can really really separate your friends from those who really understand what it is to go through chronic fatigue.

“So I’m being honest with you about it and it’s the first time I’ve told you because I can’t have a conversation with you about this without being honest.”

Petrie also said the condition has resulted in her losing friends since she began suffering with the illness.

She concluded: “I want people to learn. I want people to understand what it’s like for the 1.3 million and that is that is nowhere near the true number of people who live with chronic fatigue or people who live with people with chronic fatigue.”

Talk is available on Freeview, YouTube and Smart TVs.
