In June of last year, Ranvir revealed that she has previously battled a hidden health condition.

The admission came during a segment on migraines during an episode of Lorraine.

Ranvir revealed in the segment that there was a new pill being developed that could help combat migraines.

According to NHS England, 10 million people in the UK suffer from migraines. Three million work days are lost per year thanks the condition.

“It would be remarkable,” she said. “I have suffered from migraines and there’s just no getting away from it. It is paralysing,” she then revealed.

“If you’ve never had a migraine you have no idea. It’s nothing like a headache is it? People think they are the same thing but they’re really not – it’s great news actually [the pills],” she then added.

Symptoms of migraines include sudden headache pain, nausea, confusion, mood changes, and an increased sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraines can last between two hours to three days.

Ranvir slammed over ‘insensitive’ comment

Back in March, Ranvir came under fire for something of an insensitive comment during Good Morning Britain.

Ranvir and Richard Madeley were speaking to ex Leeds Rhinos player Matthew Syron. Matthew, 32, was smashed in the face with a glass on Boxing Night last December.

The horrific attack on Matthew left him with blood pouring from his eyes – and it is not known whether his vision will ever improve despite undergoing surgery to restore his vision.

Speaking about Matthew’s attacker, Ranvir described him as being “high on cocaine and blind drunk”. She immediately apologised for using the term “blind drunk”.

“I’m sorry to use the term blind, I shouldn’t have said that,” she said. However, viewers weren’t very forgiving.

“Not Ranvir describing the perpetrator of an attack on a man who was blinded for life as ‘blind drunk’ #GMB,” one viewer tweeted.

“Ranvir doing a Madeley with that ‘blind drunk’ comment,” another said.
