‘The former Great British Bake Off host, 53, shared her diagnosis in response to rock band Gomez’s guitarist Tom Gray who revealed his own journey.
‘I’m creeping towards an ADHD diagnosis,’ Tom penned. ‘Strongly advised to do it to help me but more likely help people who have relationships with me.
