PCOS can be a very personal thing and it can often feel like you’re on your own with it, but it is important that you remember that more people than you think have it. So I thought I would share with you a few people in the media who also have PCOS and have struggled through the symptoms.

Daisy Ridley

Daisy opened up on an Instagram post which has since been deleted, that highlighted the struggles of PCOS and endometriosis. She was diagnosed aged 15 and has since gone to star in some of the most epic films in history!

Author, actress, vlogger and mum, Fletcher is a jack of all trades and pretty much masters them all.

Her Instagram is dedicated to her life and struggles as a woman and mum.

Victoria Beckham

The original Spice girl, married to David Beckham and entrepreneur, Victoria Beckham was very vocal about her PCOS in the past just after she had given birth to her first son. Though we can’t all have her rigorous exercise regime…

So there you have it. Six women who suffer from PCOS who are in the media and we see nearly everyday on Instagram and other social media. It’s nice to know that other people are going through the same things you are. If know of anyone else that I’ve missed off the list,  leave a comment and let me know.
