'Isn't it funny how I wanna be brave but I'm terrified / to get myself dressed and go outside / I say I'm ok, I'm fine all jokes aside / but if I don't laugh I'll cry'. A fans rushed to the comments to show their support, Paloma, 44, who shares two daughters with her ex-partner Leyman Lahcine, said: 'Post partum depression is REALLLLLLLL took me 2 years after both! Hang the f**k in there honey'. The pop star, 34, took to Instagram on Friday with a tease of her powerful new track titled Depression, which she said was inspired by 'how she was feeling at the moment' Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles. The star revealed that she suffered from both post-natal depression and post-natal anxiety after the birth of Seven. Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. In May Ann-Marie to Instagram to announce the arrival of her son as she gushed: 'Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives hello everyone'.

Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles Just weeks earlier she revealed she was expecting a baby boy as she enjoyed a baby shower with the Capital Breakfast team. The star, who even teased the name of her son, revealed she would be 'done' after her second baby as she will have both a girl and a boy. Chatting about her pregnancy, host Sian Welby asked: 'Do you know what you're having?' as Anne-Marie confirmed: 'Yeah'. Sian added: 'Oh Okay, we'll try not let you slip up then.' Yet the expectant mother didn't mind doing an unexpected gender reveal as she confirmed she was having a boy. 'That's so exciting!' added Sian as Chris Stark asked: 'So, one of each?' and Anne-Marie confirmed: 'I know and then I'm done.' Confirming she had picked a name, Sian asked: 'What is harder choosing a name for your children or your albums?' Anne-Marie explained: 'Probably choosing a name because Seven is so unique so we can't just call him Barry'. In 2020 Paloma bravely spoke about her own battle with postnatal depression and how she struggle to adapt to being a mother. The singer revealed that she had expected to take to motherhood 'like a duck to water' but the reality was a rude awakening. She told the Mirror: 'And then I had my baby and lots of things went wrong and I was sadder than I've ever been before and I felt broken, largely by the disappointment that I wasn't the mother that I thought I'd be.' The Picking Up the Pieces singer revealed that it took time for a bond to develop with her child, who she conceived via IVF with her partner Leyman Lahcine. She was so distressed that she began questioning whether she had given birth to another couple's baby fearing a mix up at the IVF clinic. Paloma said: 'I started emailing doctors saying, 'Is there any way you might have put the wrong embryo in me?' But now you can see it, our child exactly looks like us.' WHAT IS POSTNATAL DEPRESSION? Postnatal depression is a form of the mental-health condition that affects more than one in 10 women in the UK and US within a year of giving birth. As many men can be affected as women, research suggests. Many parents feel down, teary and anxious within the first two weeks of having a child, which is often called the 'baby blues'. But if symptoms start later or last longer, they may be suffering from postnatal depression. Postnatal depression is just as serious as others form of the mental-health disorder. Symptoms include: Persistent sadness Lack of enjoyment or interest in the wider world Fatigue Insomnia Struggling to bond with your baby Withdrawing from others Difficulty concentrating and making decisions Frightening thoughts, such as hurting your baby Sufferers should not wait for their symptoms to just go away. Instead they should recognise that it is not their fault they are depressed and it does not make them a bad parent. If you or your partner may be suffering, talk to your GP or health visitor. Treatments can include self-help, such as talking to loved ones, resting when you can and making time to do things you enjoy. Therapy may also be prescribed. In severe cases where other options have not helped, antidepressants may be recommended. Doctors will prescribe ones that are safe to take while breastfeeding. Postnatal depression's cause is unclear, however, it is more common in those with a history of mental-health problems. Lack of support from loved ones, a poor relationship with the partner and a life-changing event, such as bereavement, can also raise the risk.

Love Island star Shaughna Phillips reveals holiday nightmare as she shares travel advice
Love Island star Shaughna Phillip recently returned from Alicante, Spain, but had a horrible experience at the airport on her way back to the UK Shaughna Phillips detailed her travelling nightmare while on the way back from Alicante Airport this week. The Love Island star was on holiday with her family when the incident unfolded, prompting her to take to her Instagram Stories to share travel advice with her many followers. The TV personality revealed there was an abnormal number of travellers at the airport, with 'snaking queues' reaching the back of the airport. However, she soon discovered a travel hack that got her entire family through the line without having to wait for hours. "I've had loads of messages asking me about Alicante Airport and what happened because they're going to be using it. So, I thought I would jump on here quickly and tell you all because I did have a solid bit of advice," she said. It comes after a Brit abroad slams all-inclusive hotel food asking 'what on earth is this?' She had a flight at 11:20am and arrived at the airport at 9am, but still had to 'run to the gates'. The reality star said they were sat by the gate for only five minutes before the flight started boarding. "So we had no time, no shops, no wee breaks," the TV personality revealed. "When we got there it was like I've never see it before. "It was like Selfridge's on Christmas morning with people queueing everywhere and you couldn't even tell where the queue started that you needed to be in. "The queue for the EasyJet desk was about 30-35 minutes queue and it snaked like it was way out the barriers to where it was supposed to be. And that wasn't just EasyJet either." The star said every single check-in and baggage drop desk was busy "apart from Jet2 because nothing beats a Jet2 holiday". The star went on to reveal there was another long queue that went "all the way back to the end of the airport". She left her father-in-law in the queue to walk around with her baby and noticed there was a VIP fast track that bypassed the whole queue if travellers paid 10 euros to get through. Shaughna said there was a black sign with a QR code at the front of the queue that has the information on the VIP queue. Shaughna returned from her holiday this week and told fans she was "ready for an exciting few weeks/months". She said: "I feel like my life has somewhat been put on hold for the last few years, and it's finally coming to an end, only good times ahead." The star later returned to her page to share her reality check moment. She wrote: "One minute you're laying by the pool and the next minute you're in Kennington getting a blood test, life comes at you fast."
