The 27-year-old mother of one underwent a second round of treatment last May and has admitted it’s a condition where it takes a while to realise something is wrong.

‘You feel off. You don’t feel like yourself. But I think I’m all the stronger for it,’ she said.

‘I think I’m a better mom because of it.’

Hayden, who is engaged to Ukrainian pro-boxer Wladimir Klitschko, has a daughter Kaya, aged two.
