Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has opened up about her battle with anxiety.

The British beauty has fronted campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Victoria’s Secret, as well as being the face of her own lingerie line for high street retailer Marks & Spencer.

Despite her immense success, Rosie has suffered with anxiety attacks, but says they are a thing of the past now.

“It's a horrible feeling,' Rosie told Elle UK. “There was one particular time when I had terrible anxiety attacks. But I got through it. Those rough patches are always times you can look back on and in hindsight, you can be quite proud of...

"It gives you a deeper understanding of yourself. Each year, that understanding gives me so much more. It's true what they say: you get more confident, and grounded, and just weed out the bulls**t.”

“I don't like to be told what to do by my other half. If he's like, ‘Do another squat,’ I'm like ‘No! You get down and do another f**king squat.'”
