S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has opened up about her struggle with Breast Implant Illness and how she was left bed bound.
The former singer spoke to Daily Star about her experience and to raise awareness, she starred in a documentary about her experience titled Hannah Spearritt: Me and Breast Implants.
Spearitt, who joined S Club 7 at just 16-years-old, had debilitating repercussions from her breast augmentation and wants to raise awareness.

She explained: “It comes with a whole cocktail of symptoms, there is a whole variety […] my main symptoms were brain fog, fatigue, blurred vision, hair loss, depression, anxiety, the list goes on.”
Hannah admitted that it is hard to “pinpoint to diagnose” as many symptoms cross over with other illnesses.
She then made a harrowing comment: “I don’t think I’d be here now if I hadn’t had them taken out, it felt like I was pretty much on the way out […] it’s pretty serious stuff.”
Spearritt experienced many side effects, but some were more prominent than others and one left her unresponsive for most of the day.
She revealed: “I would probably say the fatigue [was my main symptom], I would need to sleep a lot. It went up to 18 hours a day, my body just completely shut down, essentially. My immune system was being hampered.”
Hannah explained that it was “getting worse and worse” and because she needed to “sleep all day,” she wasn’t “in the best of moods” and “wasn’t able to get much done”.
Hannah admitted: “Most of the time, it felt like I was a prisoner in my own body.”
The 41-year-old then explained that due to “the line of work that she was in,” which was “very much geared up to how you look,” she spent “a lot of time focussed on that”.
The traumatic experience has made the former S Club 7 star reconsider getting any procedures in the future: “I didn’t really have any procedures in mind […] I personally wouldn’t entertain any procedures or putting anything into my body. Not really [on the agenda].”
“I think it has [taken a toll on my mental health] and I found that out during the documentary. There is still a lot of repressed trauma […] It was very cathartic in a way, doing the documentary at this time.”
