Nadia Sawalha has been suffering with "high anxiety" amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

The \'Loose Women\' presenter admits it has been tough during quarantine and she has "cried more than she\'s ever cried".

She said: "In the first week, I wasn\'t dealing with it well at all. My dad had just had a heart operation and I was so frantic. I was watching the news 24/7 and I had high anxiety. I\'m crying more than I\'ve ever cried and I find myself wondering what the world will look like when we come out of all of this."

However, the 55-year-old television presenter feels "lucky" that she loves her spouse Mark Adderley and that her kids - Kiki, 12, and Maddy, 17, are "well-behaved".

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I know we\'re lucky because we\'ve got quite a big house and garden, I have a husband I like and children who are well-behaved."

Filming for \'Loose Women\' was paused amidst the current health crisis but it is set to resume next week.

Sally Shelford, the editor of \'Loose Women\', revealed the programme will continue to shine a spotlight on mental health issues, as well as discussing other topical subjects.

She said: "At \'Loose Women\' we have made it our mission to stop the stigma and start a conversation about mental health, covering issues from postnatal depression to anxiety and addiction. With many of our viewers struggling with lockdown, speaking openly and honestly about mental health worries to offer comfort and advice has never felt more important."

The announcement comes shortly after Nadia vowed \'Loose Women\' would return to TV screens during the lockdown.

She said: "We cannot be beaten! We must not! If there\'s any way ITV can get it on, I\'m sure they will. It\'s one of their most popular daytime shows. Now, more than ever, people want relatability."
