Married At First Sight UK star Sophie Brown has opened up on her diagnosis that she received while taking part in the experiment. The 29-year-old, who married Johnathan Wileman during the 2022 series, received an ADHD diagnosis while filming for the E4 reality show.
Speaking to her new-found followers on Instagram, Sophie, who lives in Manchester, shared how she first began to notice symptoms while working from home during the height of the pandemic in 2020, commenting that she found herself becoming easily distracted. In an Instagram Story she later saved as a highlight, titled ‘ADHD & Me’, Sophie opened up about the diagnosis in the aim of ‘breaking the stigma’.
Talking about ‘the way it started’, Sophie said of working from home during lockdown: "I found it really difficult," before revealing that she spoke to her doctor and told him about her struggles. "I was like how are people doing this? How are they not getting distracted all the time? How are they getting tasks done?"
