TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has spoken about the anxiety she felt during lockdown and revealed that she "felt quite overwhelmed by it all".
Kelly, who has been presenting her morning show, Lorraine, since 2010, said she found herself glued to social media and checking the news constantly.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping magazine she said: "When we first went into lockdown, I had real anxiety and felt quite overwhelmed by it all.
"Back then, the news channels were on constantly, I was always looking at social media, and it was too much.
"So I now take a little bit of time out. The main thing that makes it better for me is taking [my dog] Angus for a walk.
"He's such a stress-buster. He comes into the room every morning before I get up, around 5am, and he sits on my bed and it just makes me feel better."
She added that people are "reassessing their lives" as a result of the pandemic.
Kelly said she has friends who have realised they are not happy in their relationships.
"It's really interesting how that's come about," she said.
"You can't be selfish about these things, but you only have one life and you have to try to be as happy and fulfilled as you can."
