Earlier this year, Chizzy opened up about living with depression, revealing that she had "quite a bit of therapy" following her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

Chizzy spoke candidly about her "crushing" Strictly exit last year and how it coincided with "a massive low" for her depression, which she was diagnosed with over three years ago.
