"It's not a barrel of laughs is it?!" she confessed to the panel, acknowledging that the experience had been 'very very hard.' "It's so exciting, it's very, very hard but I feel extremely connected to my body in ways that I've never been before. I used to get told off by my friends for not looking after myself enough and staying up too late and all of that and now I'm like, 'No, my body is a vessel'. It's so important that I get an early night and I'm really looking after myself," she opened up during her appearance on the ITV programme.
