Melanie Chisholm has revealed she suffered from depression at the height of her fame with the Spice Girls.

She told Cosmopolitan recently that she didn’t understand what was happening to start with: “When I was diagnosed with depression, I was relieved because I’d been wondering what the hell was wrong with me.”

“But I was also quite shocked because I never really saw myself as a person who would be depressed.”

“I suppose for anyone who grew up wanting to be famous, there’s an underlying insecurity. So when you’re thrust into that world, there are going to be repercussions.”

“I became secretive and quite isolated in the band.”
