Fans concerned for Michelle Heaton after cryptic Instagram post

She's having a tough time professionally and personally...

Michelle Heaton has worried her loyal social media fans after sharing an emotional post to her Instagram page.

In the short video, Michelle’s given herself a rabbit nose filter and written across it: “It’s been a rough 2 weeks. Professionally, personally & now emotionally. I couldn’t possibly say goodnight without a filter #stressed.”

Alongside the post she wrote a long, emotional outpouring.

“Good night from a very tired face.. the lack of sleep endless flights.. pressure & emotionally draining situations has caught up on me..

“My best girl friends and my beautiful family keep me smiling.. not one to drag people down with me when I’m low or drained I keep it all inside mostly..

“So let’s just keep it hidden 2nite with a filter and leave it at that!

“Night peeps.. a new day 2moz.. live it like it’s your last [sic].”

While Michelle didn’t say exactly what it was that was making her feel so down and drained, fans were quick to rush to offer her support, with many fearing the fact she said she was struggling “personally”.

“Personally?? Hope you are ok @wonderwomanshel. Have a chill and enjoy your family time. Get some rest!” said one.

Another added: “Sending lots of love… not like you so hope all is ok.”

“For someone going through so much babe you still look amazing. Don’t bottle things up it isn’t healthy a problem shared is a problem halved,” said someone else.

A fourth told Michelle to look after herself: “You inspire people you don’t even know love, take time out for yourself and your family we will all be here when your ready.”

While another user said: “Don’t let people have a hold on you my darling! Just enjoy your little bubble for a while and pick yourself back up. It actually doesn’t matter what people think as long as you are happy.”

Michelle has been married to her husband Hugh Hanley since 2010. They have two children, five-year-old Faith, and three-year-old Aaron.

The former Liberty X singer was diagnosed with the BRCA2 gene that meant she had an 80 percent change of developing breast cancer and a 30 percent change of getting ovarian cancer.

She has since had a complete hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and a double mastectomy and has been very open in talking about her journey.

Recently, Michelle has been busy travelling the globe performing gigs in India and Dubai alongside Kerry Katona and former X Factor contestant Zoe Birkett.

Michelle and Zoe came under fire from Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton for performing under the name Atomic Kitten when none of the actual Kittens were playing.

She posted a tweet saying it “makes my blood boil! That poster deffo says Atomic Kittens…deffo NOT an AK gig!!!”

Michelle has performed alongside Natasha and Kerry for some of Atomic Kitten’s gigs abroad due to third band member Liz McClarnon’s fear of flying.
