Speaking on the menopause in the candid call, Sophie explained: "Really we should be celebrating the fact that we don't have to have periods anymore – it should be a liberation, but it feels like a shackle". She added: "It's described as something incredibly negative."

"The menstrual cycle, periods, the menopause, having babies... you know, we all talk about having babies, but nobody talks about periods, nobody talks about the menopause, why not?" Sophie asked.
