‘My brain never switches off’: Skye Wheatley reveals her secret health battle brought on by the demands of being a full-time Instagram influencer
Big Brother’s Skye Wheatley has revealed her secret health battle, which she claims is caused by the stress of being an Instagram model.
The mother-of-one, 26, said on Thursday that the demands of being a full-time influencer were making her physically sick.
She has been suffering from headaches and feeling run down lately, which she blames on being ‘unable to switch off’.

Skye apparently spends every waking moment taking selfies and making content for social media and YouTube.
‘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,’ she told her Instagram followers.
‘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 told fans she had been feeling down lately, but had managed to lift her spirits by doing some exercise.
