She told The Daily Edition at the time that she faced unfair scrutiny over her mental illness because of the job she worked, facing people’s assessment that her life was too glamorous for her to suffer depression.

“It was the … negative reaction people had to me being depressed and falling under the dark cloud.

“In many ways my life is wonderful, for which I’m extremely grateful and there’s no doubting that, but when you’re suffering these kinds of things for people to say, ‘how dare you — you’re a model, you’re a millionaire, you’re round the world’.

“That’s got nothing to do with this.”
