How has Martine’s health affected her weight?
Like many women, Martine’s weight has fluctuated over the years.
However, the star particularly struggled after battling a number of health problems.
Martine was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome ME and Lyme’s disease in 2011.
On a previous Instagram post, she explained: “My weight loss was a tiny bit slower than the average person.
“To be honest, I expected that as many diets/food plans didn’t work for me at all as the lymes disease and ME can really play havoc with how your system works.”
