Homes Under The Hammer's Martel Maxwell has opened up about her battle with undiagnosed menopause, and revealed the alarming moment she forgot the word for 'carpet' on set.The TV presenter noticed something was "terribly wrong" when she began misplacing things at home and experiencing tension with her husband Jamie Parrat.
But it was when the 46 year old lost her words in public, including during a school drop-off and while filming, that she realised the severity of the issue.
In her column for The Courier, she shared: "I'd been filming Homes Under The Hammer when, during a piece to camera, as I was describing the swirly oranges and browns of dated decor, I had to stop mid-way because I couldn't remember the word for carpet." Desperate for help, she turned to her cameraman, gesturing at the floor and asking, "What's it called again?” To which her colleague, confused, responded: "Er, a carpet? " Although they resumed filming, the incident lingered in Martel's mind.
On another occasion, she found herself unable to say "bye" to her children at school, instead just waving "inanely". She confessed that these moments felt "unbelievable as it sounds" and led to a profound sadness as she felt "normal life and emotions was always a little out of reach".
