In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mirror, Tina O’Brien has told all about the devastating panic attacks which she was plagued with after a terrifying burglary.

She said:

“My panic attacks were so bad I couldn’t even go to the supermarket,”

“The attacks were mild at first. But they built up and until I started avoiding the places where I had them. It was horrific.”

“It was to do with people staring at me and wanting to talk to me.”

Tina is set to leave ITV’s soap opera later this year and will be appearing in pantomime this Christmas as Cinderella.
