The One Show star Nikki Fox on painful health issue
Taking to Instagram, Nikki opened up about how her endometriosis had ruined a TV experience for her.
According to the NHS website, endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Symptoms of the condition include pain in your lower tummy or back, period pain that prevents you from doing normal activities, pain during or after sex, feeling sick, constipation and diarrhoea.
Taking to Instagram, Nikki shared some snaps and videos from her holiday with boyfriend Dave. Amongst those snaps was on of her on Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel.
Captioning the picture, Nikki wrote: “A photo I got sent from a friend of me on Michael McIntyre‘s The Wheel. It was the repeat I was dreading.
“I’ve had to accept that some jobs go well and some don’t. It took me a very long time to forgive myself for sending every f’ing contestant back down that hole. I’m no good under pressure, never have been and I wasn’t well that day, my endometriosis was painful and stuff happened so I wasn’t funny or present.
“Can’t feel good about your work all the time can you!”
Fans show their support
Plenty of Nikki’s 4k followers were quick to show their support.
“I love this reel. Is it what we call ‘subjective alt text description’. Dave looks precious and you weren’t [bleep] on The Wheel, you were real which made it entertaining,” one fan commented.
“You work your derrière off; and you completely deserve a great (accessible!) holiday. It’s so great to see you loved up, Nikki,” another wrote.
“Oh that looks amazing….and with respect don’t put yourself down,” a third said.
