Dani Dyer has struggled with the pressures of being a "good mum".
Dani Dyer has filmed a new documentary
The 26-year-old TV star - who has Santiago, two, with Sammy Kimmence - has opened up about her own experiences of anxiety for a new documentary, 'Dani Dyer: Is This Anxiety?'.
Dani - who is expecting twins later this year with sports star Jarrod Bowen - said: "Anxiety is a topic that everyone’s heard about, but we still don’t openly talk about our experiences. It can affect anyone, but as a young mum, it can be overwhelming at a time that’s already challenging and daunting.
"I’m really excited to be working with E4 and Summer Films to explore this topic, remove the stigma associated with mental health and meet other mums in the UK who have struggled with the pressures of what a supposed ‘good mum’ looks like."
Mel Bezalel - the commissioning editor of Channel 4 - has hailed the new documentary, describing it as "long overdue".
Mel said: "Millions of us have followed Dani since her stint in the ['Love Island'] villa, having fallen for her honesty, warmth and down to earth nature.
"Her candidness on motherhood and how it’s changed her life - for better and for worse - is refreshing, necessary and this discussion about anxiety and parenthood feels long overdue.
"The exclusive access Dani has given us makes this an important documentary we’re proud to have on E4 and All 4."
Meanwhile, Sam Whittaker, of Summer Films, hopes the documentary will help to "normalise conversations around anxiety in pregnancy".
Sam said: "We are extremely grateful to Dani and everyone else involved for bravely putting trust in us to tell their stories, and making a film that we hope helps normalise conversations around anxiety in pregnancy and early parenthood."
