Supernanny Jo Frost reveals anaphylaxis diagnosis
The British reality TV star announced her medical condition in a video posted to her Instagram over the weekend.
"I've survived more anaphylactic shocks than I'm prepared to go into detail about right now," Frost began in the clip shared with fans.
"I have anaphylaxis, a life-threatening medical condition to certain foods that will compromise my body so horrifically to the point of hospitalisation."
"Absolute millions of my community around the world, children and adults, live cautiously and anxiously navigating this journey with not nearly enough compassion, education and empathy from those who do not," she claimed.
"Today, everyone will know someone or someone who knows of one with anaphylaxis," Frost continued. "If you ignore the severity of this medical condition, it's as bad as shoving a loaded gun in my face."
The parenting expert expressed that she is "unapologetic" about her health struggle.
"I did not ask for it, and it does not define who I am and the impact that I make in the world daily," she said.
"But it does impact how I live my life daily, like the precautions I take, the energy I have to use to discern with hypervigilance."
She also asked that people educate themselves on the condition, as she doesn't want any "mumbling insults" from "ignorant" people.
Frost is best known for the UK reality television programme Supernanny UK, in which she starred from 2004 to 2008.
She has since branched off into several other reality shows worldwide.

RHOD's Nonku Williams on friendship ‘misunderstanding' with Jojo Robinson
Reality TV fans were shocked to see the supposed end of 'JoKu'. The Real Housewives of Durban viewers saw cracks in stars Nonku Williams and Jojo Robinson's five-year friendship when Nonku referred to her friendship with Jojo as 'surface level' at the end of the show's fifth season in relation to Nonku's faith. After weeks of fans speculating and social media unfollows, both Jojo and Nonku have taken to their respective social media accounts to address the fallout. READ MORE | In Nonku's 'heartfelt message', she apologises for the 'surface level' comment. She writes, 'The truth is, I tend to be very blunt in how I express myself, and I'm actively working on being more mindful and gentle in my delivery. When Londie and I were having that conversation, I was trying to articulate how, as I've grown spiritually, there are certain parts of my life I now approach differently. It's not because I don't value Jojo or our friendship, in fact, it's quite the opposite. 'Jojo and I have shared many heartfelt conversations, both on and off camera, and she knows that our journey have been filled with love, laughter, and real connection. But my spiritual walk has simply led me into a season where I hold some things closer, and I'm still learning how to express that without causing hurt.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nonku Williams (@nonku_williams) Nonku's message comes a few days after Jojo broke her silence to address their fallout. In Jojo's social media post, she wrote, 'I understand that you are going in a different direction and I hope one day we get to talk again in person.. but for now because I know someone will send this to you. Know that im grateful for you.. im grateful for what you meant in this life to me and I will always remember that regardless of what happened we always had each other and now maybe it is time for us to start our journey as just nonku and jojo not joku anymore. 'I forgive you and I'm also sorry for any part I played that upset you to.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by JoJo Robinson (@ Nonku acknowledged that Jojo brings out a playful and childlike side to her. She also clarified that her saying that she isn't able to tell Jojo everything happening in her life on the show meant that their friendship had it's own dynamic outside of Nonku's spirituality. The reality star and author revealed that she has reached out to Jojo, 'and we're planning to meet soon,' Nonku shared. 'I want her and everyone to know that our friendship is still important to me. I'm committed to nurturing it, and I hope we can reach a place of mutual understanding and respect.'
