The media personality said she was forced to undergo an iron infusion after suffering from anaemia due to severe blood loss.

She told Closer magazine: ‘The menopause affected me mentally and I didn’t feel like me. My periods were awful, I’d have to change about five times a day and I lost that much blood that I became anaemic. I was really tired and depressed. 

‘I’d struggle to get out of bed and I couldn’t wait to go back to bed at night.’

Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause – the time before a woman’s periods stop – and said she didn’t address her symptoms straight away and her condition became worse because she’d left it so long.

It meant she ended up needing treatment in hospital, adding: ‘I left it too long to get it sorted, so in the end I had to have iron infusions in hospital.’ 

Fellow TV star Davina McCall, 54, has been shining a light on menopause recently, releasing two Channel 4 documentaries lifting the lid on what has previously been considered a taboo subject.

Jenny has applauded Davina for working so hard to raise awareness and hopes women will get the help they need.

She added: ‘The likes of Davina McCall … have done a brilliant job of bringing it (menopause) out into the open.

‘I’m so pleased we can share our experiences and it’s encouraged me to talk about it on social media.’

Jenny also recalled a childhood tragedy when a neighbour committed suicide when she was struggling to cope with menopausal symptoms.

She concluded: ‘I remember when I was a kid out next-door neighbour threw herself under a train because of menopause. It must have been a very lonely place for previous generations.’

In the candid chat Jenny went on to praise model Christie Brinkley, 67, who recently received backlash after posing in a bikini calling her ‘unbelievable’. 

She said that whether or not she is ‘still allowed’ too wear the skimpy swimwear is not something she would ever think about. 

Revealing that she would continue to wear the two pieces well into her 70s as she embraces life and people can ‘take it or leave it’. 

It’s been a difficult year for Jenny as her father Leslie passed away in July 2021 at the age of 93.

She posted a tribute to her beloved dad on Instagram at the time, writing: ‘The most beautiful soul and father to me Leslie Michael Powell passed away yesterday and the sunshine has been with me and the family all day long today.

‘He has been a light, a warmth and part of our souls that will never be forgotten and he will live on in every smile, every burst of laughter and every person who he has known .. because everyone who met Les was always enchanted by his complete and utter gentlemanly ways .. he was a true and most brilliantly bright star. 

‘My mother had been with him for almost 70 years and they loved each other to the core. 

‘We will look after her Les, and your grandchildren are so very honoured to have known you and loved you as much as you loved them .. this family man is an example to us all .. love your family like nothing else and Dad I will miss you every single day, every single hour .. I Love you RIP.’ 

 WHAT IS THE MENOPAUSE?

 Menopause is defined as the changes a woman goes through just before and after she stops her periods and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. 

Some women go through this time with few, if any, symptoms, around 60 percent experience symptoms resulting in behavioural changes and one in four will suffer severely. 

Common symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness leading to discomfort during sex, disrupted sleep, decreased sex drive, problems with memory and concentration and mood swings.

Menopause happens when your ovaries stop producing as much of the hormone oestrogen and no longer release an egg each month.

In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51, according to the NHS.
