MAFS UK star Sophie Brown opens up about diagnosis she received whilst on show

Married At First Sight UK star Sophie Brown has opened up on her diagnosis that she received while taking part in the E4 show. The 29-year-old, who married Johnathan Wileman during the most recent series, revealed that she received an ADHD diagnosis while filming for the reality show.

Sophie took to Instagram to talk about her diagnosis and how she first began to notice symptoms while working from home during 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 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?"
