Sharon has been very open about her fertility struggle and spoke about her IVF journey during an appearance on This Morning back in 2021. Watch the video below to see her emotional statement.
The journalist told Holly and Phillip about the emotional toll of failed IVF cycles, saying she was "very depressed" during her forties and felt "emotionally and physically" ill from the repeated cycles.
Explaining why she felt she had to hide her struggles with IVF, she said: "I think I felt embarrassed. I felt I wasn't innately woman… which was a ridiculous way to think… because this is something you’re supposed to do naturally."
