Viewers have seen Bex struggle with her mental health this year.

After becoming so stressed out about her A-Level exams, Bex began taking ADHD medication to help her focus.

She started becoming so paranoid and stressed that she ended up running away, however she was brought home by Stuart Highway.

Although she stopped taking the medication, Bex became overwhelmed at the prospect of going to Oxford University.
