Skye said on Thursday: ‘I’ve been suffering from headaches and stuff, getting sick and rundown lately. I just don’t know if it’s because I’m always go, go, go.
‘I don’t really take a break, in my mind. Like, I’ll literally be laying in bed thinking about what I’m going to shoot the next day or how I could create something new.
‘Or just like, so many thoughts. My brain never really switches off. I’ve been getting really bad headaches. I’ve got one at the moment.’
Earlier this week, Skye also told fans she had been feeling down lately, and had managed to lift her spirits by turning to fitness and exercise as a release.
