Nell McAndrews talks about suffering from PPD

Nell McAndrews has spoken out about suffering from postpartum depression (PPD) following the birth of her son, Devon, last August, with husband, Paul Hardcastle. Nell says that she has only just overcome it;

I cried every day for six months after Devon was born.

Nell tells Closer Magazine that she was irritable and it affected not only her ability to act as a mother but her relationship with her husband.

I was snappy and grumpy. It put a strain on our relationship and sex life.

Nell is now recovering, taking up running to ease the condition, and is training for the London Marathon.
