    Anne-Marie has revealed that she battled postnatal depression

    The 34-year-old singer welcomed her second child, a boy, with husband Slowthai in May and explained that her mental health was severely affected in a candid Instagram post


    Anne-Marie - who also has daughter Seven, 17 months, with her rapper husband - wrote on the social media site: "This is the most 'me' I've felt in a long time. My head has been all over the place. I've been pregnant and breastfeeding for over 2 years.

    "My hormones are mental and I've only just started feeling okay. I've been through a lot.

    "My body has been through a lot. It's so hard but I guess cliche to say IT IS worth it. For someone who doesn't like routines I've had to become the person who lives in one. With naps and feeding and meal times. But I'm through it, still going through it but I feel I've come out of the hole.

    "I battled with postnatal depression and postnatal anxiety, and therapy (yet again) and the people around me pulled me through it. Now I'm back. I'm strong and I'm excited. My blond hair is back.

    "My body is kinda back. I just have to stop eating chocolate now and saying 'the baby wants it' hahahaha damn."

    The Ciao Adios singer concluded her post by suggesting that she could soon be making a return to performing.

    Anne-Marie penned: "Anyway, this caption is too long but just wanted to let you know. My mind is finally seeing clear again. Yay. I have 2 beautiful babies. Now it's time to tour again hahaha. Okay maybe not yet but soon."

    The Rockabye hitmaker was touring just two weeks before Seven was born last year and confessed that she "weed herself on stage" during her pregnancy.

    Anne-Marie said: "It was the most beautiful thing, but it was definitely hard.

    "I think I weed myself on stage a couple of times."

    Despite the difficulties, the singer was desperate to keep on performing until as close as possible to her daughter's birth.

    She said: "Yeah, I don't know how I did it. I weirdly had it in my head that I wanted to go against everything that everyone says about pregnant women.

    "Most people stay at home because their ankles and back hurt and I just went, 'F*** that - I am not doing that.'

    "I made it my mission to be able to do everything I normally do while pregnant and I managed to do that up until two weeks before when I was like, 'Get the f****** thing out of me.'"
