Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley admits she feared her husband Phil would leave her due to 'horrific' health condition as she reveals 'you can't control it'
Tanya Bardsley has revealed she once feared her husband Phil would leave her due to the toll her 'horrific' health condition has taken on their relationship. The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star, 43, is battling adenomyosis - a painful condition where tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing intense pain and heavy bleeding that disrupts daily life. In a candid new interview, Tanya shared that the condition has left her in constant agony and triggered a severe hormonal 'nightmare'. As a result, it's taken a toll on her 11-year marriage to the former Sunderland footballer, with Tanya admitting there were moments she 'couldn't stand to be around him.' Praising Phil for sticking by her, she told The Sun: 'That shows what kind of man he is because some days I just don't even want to hang around with myself.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Describing how her condition affects her, she explained: 'It's like something has taken over your body and you can't control it. I am like an ogre stomping around. 'The rage just comes up inside of me and takes over. I'm horrible to be around, but obviously my oestrogen is low and the ogre is out.' Tanya said it like like going from being terrified of losing your partner and family to suddenly feeling so angry you don't care about anything or anyone - and admitted it's a horrible place to be. In a bid to finally get relief, Tanya revealed she's preparing to undergo a hysterectomy in hopes of fixing the condition once and for all. It comes after Tanya opened up about the shocking discovery surgeons made while performing her recent half-mid facelift. The reality star, who has been open about her numerous plastic surgery procedures, admitted doctors were forced to 'scrape out 20-year-old filler' after she went under the knife due to 'middle-aged bloating' shattering her confidence. However despite surgeons removing the substance from Tanya's face and leaving her skin looking 'amazing' she confessed to ignoring medic's orders, which has had a detrimental affect on her appearance. She told OK!: 'They were scraping out 20-year-old filler. Afterwards, the surgeon said I couldn't use anything on my skin apart from water and Bio-Oil, and honestly, my skin was amazing!' The reality star, who has been open about her numerous plastic surgery procedures , admitted doctors were forced to 'scrape out 20-year-old filler' after she went under the knife due to 'middle-aged bloating' shattering her confidencr (pictured 2022) 'Then I stupidly introduced all the retinols and things I used to use, and now my skin is awful. I need to go back to basics again'. It comes just weeks after Tanya recalled doctors having to 'draw blood' from her boob job as she revealed horrific details from another procedure. The TV personality , who was 25 when she had her first boob job - which left her 'horribly scarred' - also discussed a tummy tuck that she had in January 2022. Speaking on the Nip Tuck Not Giving a F... podcast with hosts Ashley Stobart and Lauren Harris, she admitted 'it was the worst pain she'd ever been through.' After welcoming her fourth child, Ralphi, in 2016 with her Phil, she detailed how the sagging skin left after her pregnancy left her looking like a 'bulldog's forehead.' Tanya said: 'My body was absolutely smashing - until Ralphi,' before recalling her tummy tuck. 'It's the worst pain I've ever been through. Cause obviously they have to cut you, they have to lift the skin up to pull the tummy muscles back,' she explained. She continued: 'I'm happy because I couldn't wear bikinis because it was that much skin. Adding of her boob jobs, Tanya said: 'I had them done the first time and then after Ralphi I did an uplift. 'I don't know whether that was the surgeon but it was more the aftercare. I was out drinking, partying. Because I always just healed, and I was young and stupid.' Tanya revealed she ended up with a hematoma at the surgery site, which meant the 'surgeon had to put a thing in and just draw all of this blood out.' 'It's really, really scared. But the Ralphi was a baby and I thought "I am not going another six weeks not picking him up."

Horrific condition filled me with rage…I was worried Phil was going to leave – now I have 4-hour op, says Tanya Bardsley
THEIR high-profile marriage may have got them a hit fly-on-the-wall series, but Tanya Bardsley admits there are some days when she 'can't bear' her husband Phil. The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star is suffering from a condition that has left her in crippling agony and plunged her into such a hormonal 'nightmare' that it is putting pressure on her 11-year marriage to the former Sunderland footballer. 4 Tanya says: 'There are times when I feel like I can't bear him — if he breathes too loud, for example — and poor Phil, he's probably not even done anything, he's just been himself. 'He deserves a medal — but he hasn't left me, that's the main thing. 'That shows what kind of man he is because some days I just don't even want to hang around with myself. 'It's like something has taken over your body and you can't control it. I am like an ogre stomping around. 'The rage just comes up inside of me and takes over. I'm horrible to be around, but obviously my oestrogen is low and the ogre is out. 'You go from fear of losing your partner and your family to this rage where you just don't give a s**t about anything or anyone. It's horrible.' Tanya is the longest-serving cast member of the Housewives and now appears in reality show The Bardsley Bunch on ITVBe and ITVX with Phil and their four kids. But for years she has also been suffering from a crippling condition called adenomyosis, where tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus leading to pain and heavy bleeding that can significantly affect daily life. 'I've been doubled up on all fours on the floor' It is often linked to hormonal imbalances, and in particular, elevated levels of oestrogen. Horror as Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley reveals masked men attempted to raid mansion while family were home_1 Today 44-year-old Tanya reveals that she is about to have a hysterectomy, and is terrified. She says: 'I have fibroids in my womb too. They are benign growths but can reach the size of a melon. 'I am often in so much pain that I feel like I'm giving birth. It is excruciating — it's been horrific recently.' Tanya has been suffering for years because experts failed to correctly diagnose her. She says: 'I started getting really bad pain but my previous gynae- cologist didn't know what was wrong with me. I eventually booked in to see a specialist who diagnosed adenomyosis and fibroids. 'Getting that diagnosis was such a relief because it made me realise I wasn't going mad, that something was really wrong. 'The pain is unbearable at times. It's like childbirth but it doesn't come in waves like contractions — it is constant. 'I've been doubled over on all fours on the floor having to pant through it, just crying my eyes out and sometimes telling Phil that I think he's going to have to take me to A&E. 'It's so intense and then eases off a bit but then comes back. It's really traumatic for Phil to see me in so much pain. 'It affects everything in your life — your social life, your work life. Some days I literally cannot get out of bed.' The hysterectomy will take four hours followed by weeks of recovery. Tanya says: 'Losing my womb is just an awful thought. That's where my babies were — it's what womanhood is about. I think because I've been through so many dark times and I have tried to take my own life in the past, I know that whatever pain I'm going through, it's not the end Tanya Bardsley 'I'm really scared I'll feel less of a woman without it, but I know this is my only option. 'The recovery time is about six weeks, so I am getting it done in the summer after Phil's 40th birthday celebrations.' Tanya first found fame as a model. She was one of FHM's High Street Honeys in 2002 and was included in the lads' mag's 100 Sexiest Women. In 2014 she married Phil and they went on to have children Gabriella, 23, Rocco, 16, Renz, 12, and eight-year-old Ralphi. She joined up for the first series of The Real Housewives Of Cheshire in 2015 with Ampika Pickston, Dawn Ward, Lauren Simon, Leanne Brown and Magali Gorre. Now Tanya and Phil, who is assistant manager of Macclesfield, live in luxury in a £2million Cheshire home. But just a few days ago masked intruders tried to break in while the family slept before they were scared off by the property's security system. It is the latest harrowing ordeal for Tanya, who entered perimenopause when she was just 38 and has been suffering ever since. At 39 she was diagnosed with ADHD after years of struggling with anxiety and suicidal thoughts. She tells The Sun on Sunday: 'Because of the pain and hormones, my mental health is awful right now. 'You just feel like you've got a big black cloud in your head. 'But I think because I've been through so many dark times and I have tried to take my own life in the past, I know that whatever pain I'm going through, it's not the end. 'Imagine guys going through perimenopause' 'I think that's why I don't worry about myself going into a dark place any more. I can just wait it out.' Following her diagnosis, Tanya — supported by Phil — had some agonising discussions with experts before finally deciding that she should have a hysterectomy. She explained: 'My doctor says the cure for me to get rid of the pain is a hysterectomy. 'My mum actually had one when she was 37. She told me her womb was riddled with fibroids, but she probably had adenomyosis as well but it just wasn't diagnosed. 'She was in the same kind of pain I am. 'Phil and I have completed our family — he has had the snip. So we decided together this is the next step for me. But I'm really scared about it. 'There's no option that doesn't bring its own risks. 'Sometimes I'm thinking, 'Well, this is just pain. What if I end up with blood clots or an infection or something else if I get an operation?' 'I've had so many things wrong with me over the years that now I'm scared of creating something else.' Tanya openly admits she is no stranger to going under the knife. She has had several cosmetic surgeries ranging from a face lift, two boob jobs, liposuction and a brow lift. But it has not always been straightforward. What is a hysterectomy? A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the womb, which marks the end of a woman's reproductive period. After having the surgery, you will no longer be able to get pregnant - and your periods will stop. There were around 30,500 hysterectomies carried out in England in 2012 and 2013, mostly for women in their 40s. Hysterectomies are carried out to treat conditions that affect the female reproductive system. These include heavy periods, long-term pelvic pain or non-cancerous tumours. In some cases, women have hysterectomies to treat ovarian, uterine, fallopian tube or cervical cancer. There are different types of operations - depending on whether the woman has her whole womb, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tube and/or cervix removed. In a radical hysterectomy - the lymph glands, fatty tissue and part of the vagina are also removed. She ended up with a blood clot in her breast due to her second boob job after Ralph was born. Tanya said: 'I've learned that with cosmetic surgery you can fix one problem and cause another, so knowing you're about to have more surgery is a scary place to be.' To help other women, she is going to document the operation and her recovery for The Bardlsey Bunch, which gives viewers a warts-and-all look at her home life with Phil. She says: 'I have had so many messages from women over the years who have taken comfort in me speaking out about perimenopause, so I think it's important to show this side of what's going on with me. 'It might help other women to not feel so alone. 'With perimenopause I thought I was going crazy. 'I just wasn't being listened to. I was even given antidepressants. I felt like no one was taking me seriously and then you're just left feeling like everyone hates you. 'So many women said they experienced the same thing. 'I swear if a man had to go through what we did, there would be serious changes that happen quickly. 'Imagine these guys going through perimenopause. 'Every top scientist, every doctor around the world, all the government's money would be on it. 'I once called an ambulance for Phil because we thought something was seriously wrong with him — it turned out to be bad trapped wind. 'I will never let him forget that, ever!'

Masked gang targets £2m home of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley that she shares with football husband star Phil
Two masked men attempted to break into Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley 's £2million mansion last night while her family slept. Tanya posted video footage of her football manager husband Phil Bardsley talking to police outside their home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, in the early hours of this morning. It is believed officers were alerted after the would-be robbers were picked up on the couple's security system. Luckily the masked gang were scared off before they were able to break into the property. A source told The Sun: 'The family was home at the time, but luckily nobody was harmed. 'Security and police turned up as fast they could, but the two masked men got away.' Tanya, 44, took to Instagram to warn other neighbours about the attempted break-in. She wrote: 'Two masked men in Wilmslow. Lock your doors, put your cameras on and call the police if you see them.' 'Thank God for Taurus Security Group,' the TV personality added. Macclesfield Town FC assistant manager Paul could be seen wearing just a pair of blue shorts and Crocs as he spoke to police. Tanya, who made her TV debut on The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015, is the show's longest serving cast member. She married Phil in 2014 and the couple share four children together, Rocco, Renz, Ralphi and Gabriella. Last month they revealed they would be filming a new family reality ITVBe series The Bardsley Brunch. The Kardashian style series will follow the ups and downs of the couple's life with their children and Tanya's parents Julie and Steve and her nan Irene. The production team has installed GoPro cameras throughout their home and placed small microphones in plant pots and on picture frames to capture the families life. It comes after Tanya recalled how she 'didn't understand the world' before her ADHD diagnosis as she gave an insight into her 'chaotic' family life. The Real Housewives star, who was diagnosed back in 2020, has been open about her struggle and her son Rocco's diagnosis. Speaking ahead of their new six-part series reality show, Tanya spoke about her home life. In an interview with OK! Magazine, Tanya described them as 'more like the Clampetts who won the lottery' than the Kardashians as she teased what fans can expect from their show. Rocco, 16, received his ADHD diagnosis shortly after Tanya shared hers, and she has now told how they live in a house where 'everyone is on the spectrum somewhere'. She told the publication: 'I'm really proud my children will grow up feeling differently to how I did, because I want them to feel accepted and proud of who they are. 'I feel quite sad for the younger me. She struggled so much and didn't really understand the world. 'This world isn't built for all of us, trying to sit in a classroom in a certain way and learn in a certain way. 'But Rocco just isn't bothered by having ADHD at all, and actually he's quite proud of it now.'
