The admission came after she spoke about having anxiety and her partner Chris Walker having OCD, and how they want to be open with their struggles with mental illness in their family.   

'We don't spend a lot of time talking about it, I think,' Carrie began. 

'That's what we have and we both openly see, I saw psychologists when I was pregnant with Evie as I had this real fear of giving birth to Evie because I nearly died after I gave birth to Ollie.'

'Both of those things are a part of our life. We don't take special time to talk about as if it's a strange thing or a thing to be ashamed of or anything, it's who we are,' she said, saying there should not be a stigma towards mental illness.  

Back in 2017, Carrie said she had counselling to prepare for Evie's birth, after being left so 'traumatised' after giving birth to Ollie.
