This comes after the TV beauty revealed that she’s at a high risk of going blind due to her rare health condition.
Rachel, 47, said that she always receives so many messages about fans worrying about her eye – with many telling her to seek medical help.

“Then wherever they burst they leave a scar and the scars leave blind spots and if at any point they burst in the centre line of vision then that’s my sight gone.

“I think at one point they thought it was pregnancy causing it on me and it just seems now the muscles have given up and it looks very odd at times.”
