Tanya Bardsley has revealed she once feared her husband Phil would leave her due to the toll her ‘horrific’ health condition has taken on their relationship.

The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star, 43, is battling adenomyosis – a painful condition where tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing intense pain and heavy bleeding that disrupts daily life.

In a candid new interview, Tanya shared that the condition has left her in constant agony and triggered a severe hormonal ‘nightmare’. 

As a result, it’s taken a toll on her 11-year marriage to the former Sunderland footballer, with Tanya admitting there were moments she ‘couldn’t stand to be around him.’ 

Praising Phil for sticking by her, she told The Sun: ‘That shows what kind of man he is because some days I just don’t even want to hang around with myself.’

Describing how her condition affects her, she explained: ‘It’s like something has taken over your body and you can’t control it. I am like an ogre stomping around. 

‘The rage just comes up inside of me and takes over. I’m horrible to be around, but obviously my oestrogen is low and the ogre is out.’

Tanya said it like like going from being terrified of losing your partner and family to suddenly feeling so angry you don’t care about anything or anyone – and admitted it’s a horrible place to be.

In a bid to finally get relief, Tanya revealed she’s preparing to undergo a hysterectomy in hopes of fixing the condition once and for all. 

It comes after Tanya opened up about the shocking discovery surgeons made while performing her recent half-mid facelift.

The reality star, who has been open about her numerous plastic surgery procedures, admitted doctors were forced to ‘scrape out 20-year-old filler’ after she went under the knife due to ‘middle-aged bloating’ shattering her confidence.

However despite surgeons removing the substance from Tanya’s face and leaving her skin looking ‘amazing’ she confessed to ignoring medic’s orders, which has had a detrimental affect on her appearance.

She told OK!: ‘They were scraping out 20-year-old filler. Afterwards, the surgeon said I couldn’t use anything on my skin apart from water and Bio-Oil, and honestly, my skin was amazing!’

‘Then I stupidly introduced all the retinols and things I used to use, and now my skin is awful. I need to go back to basics again’. 

It comes just weeks after Tanya recalled doctors having to ‘draw blood’ from her boob job as she revealed horrific details from another procedure. 

The TV personality , who was 25 when she had her first boob job – which left her ‘horribly scarred’ – also discussed a tummy tuck that she had in January 2022.

Speaking on the Nip Tuck Not Giving a F… podcast with hosts Ashley Stobart and Lauren Harris, she admitted ‘it was the worst pain she’d ever been through.’

After welcoming her fourth child, Ralphi, in 2016 with her Phil, she detailed how the sagging skin left after her pregnancy left her looking like a ‘bulldog’s forehead.’

Tanya said: ‘My body was absolutely smashing – until Ralphi,’ before recalling her tummy tuck.

‘It’s the worst pain I’ve ever been through. Cause obviously they have to cut you, they have to lift the skin up to pull the tummy muscles back,’ she explained.

She continued: ‘I’m happy because I couldn’t wear ʙικιɴιs because it was that much skin.

Adding of her boob jobs, Tanya said: ‘I had them done the first time and then after Ralphi I did an uplift.

‘I don’t know whether that was the surgeon but it was more the aftercare. I was out drinking, partying. Because I always just healed, and I was young and stupid.’

Tanya revealed she ended up with a hematoma at the surgery site, which meant the ‘surgeon had to put a thing in and just draw all of this blood out.’

‘It’s really, really scared. But the Ralphi was a baby and I thought “I am not going another six weeks not picking him up.”
