Former Loose Women star Lisa Maxwell previously opened up about a massive argument she had with her husband when she was perimenopausal.
Actress Lisa, 60, married her long-term beau Paul Jessup back in 2014, after 17 years of dating. The pair share a daughter called Beau, born in 1999.
However, back in 2012, Lisa candidly opened up about the effects of being perimenopausal.
Loose Women star Lisa Maxwell on ‘massive row’ with husband
Writing in MailOnline, Lisa, who was 48 at the time, recounted a row between herself and Paul after she started “shivering” in their bedroom.
Paul was beginning to lose his patience. We ended up having an enormous row.
The Bill star then “snapped” at Paul as she quizzed him on what was wrong with the heating.
“By now, Paul was beginning to lose his patience. We ended up having an enormous row, then Paul, my partner of 14 years, stormed off to sleep in the spare room, and I slammed the door behind him,” she revealed.
Lisa Maxwell ‘in grip of something she had no control of’
Loose Women star Lisa then revealed how despite things getting heated, she “couldn’t back down” and “bellowed” to her husband: “That’s right. You take the warm bedroom.”
She went on to compare herself to “a woman possessed” – but noted how there was nothing Paul could say or do to calm her down. She then confirmed that she was in the “grip of something over which I have absolutely no control — the perimenopause”.
Lisa Maxwell’s husband ‘asked for months for her to get help’
Lisa then went on to recall how, at the time, she suffered from “horrifying mood swings, flying off the handle at the slightest provocation, crying, and making excuses not to go out, because I have felt so exhausted.”
She added: “Paul has been asking me for months to get help and finally, aware that I have been putting our relationship under strain, I have listened to him and visited my doctor. I’m hoping that, if I can be open about what’s happening to me, other women might recognise what’s going on in their own bodies.”
