The day prior, she told her followers: 'So basically I really struggled mental health wise December/January,'
Posting alongside a smiling selfie, Helen continued: 'I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year. Had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram.'
Helen explained that she was feeling extra pressure as she rehearsed for her Cluedo 2 tour:
'I felt terrible, so I was due my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids.'
'But I had a really bad reaction though to the medication ( an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.'
'I just love my kids so much x this bad reaction though was a few days before rehearsals were starting and sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it.'
'I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but i needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents ❤️'
She ended her post by stating that 'I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now. therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now ✨ anyway sending love and please be kind.'
It was announced in February that Helen was being replaced with Strictly star Ellie Leach on the Cluedo 2 tour.
