“So I had to find other ways to deal with the symptoms of menopause. Running and swimming in particular have been great,’ she shared.
Sally is taking the preventive medication after battling breast cancer in 2010 and has now made a full recovery.
But natural remedies seem to be working wonders, as the star says hitting menopause and appearing on Dancing on Ice earlier in the year has given her a new lease on life.
She shared: ‘I feel more confident in myself than I did 10 or even 20 years ago. Reaching menopause has not made me want to retire, quite the opposite!
“As you get older, you can lose confidence because you start to feel a little invisible, but dancing on ice reaffirmed what I should have been feeling all along: Getting older doesn’t mean I have to lose my spark. I hope I have inspired other women my age to try new things too.’
