Hetti recently opened up about suffering from anxiety with a lengthy post on Instagram.
Alongside a photo of herself, she told her followers: “Just like most people, I suffer with anxiety.
“Mainly social, and I always need to catch my breath when I’m in London. It occasionally gets a bit much. Especially with all the people. So I take myself back home and spend time outside and listen to what my body and mind need.
“I get stuck in my own thoughts and feel overwhelmed, needing to re-assess where I am at. Nature and being still helps me do that and become more mindful. It’s my escapism. I feel much calmer and far more in touch with my emotions. I have definitely needed this recently.”
