Penny Lancaster has revealed that she initially mistook her menopause symptoms for Covid-19 and was mistakenly prescribed anti-depressants by her doctor before accessing hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

The British former model and TV presenter was recently revealed as one of the famous faces fronting the Let's Chat Menopause campaign, which aims to tackle the stigma surrounding the menopause.

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, 51-year-old Lancaster spoke candidly about her own experience, saying: "When I first had my symptoms, it was during lockdown.

So initially, I thought maybe I've got Covid because of the heat, the flushes, but it wasn't just, 'oh give me a minute,' they were disrupting my sleep so then I couldn't function during the day. "And it wasn't until I spoke with the ladies on Loose Women, that they said, 'I recognise what you're going through Penny'."She added: "My doctor, unknown to him obviously are the symptoms of the menopause, he gave me anti-depressants, so I was on them for a long time until I got HRT."Lancaster also admitted to initially using excuses in an attempt to explain the way she was feeling, before accepting she was going through the menopause.
