Jacqueline Jossa will host an episode of new documentary show 'Celebrity Health Stories' on ITVBe.

The 29-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Lauren Branning in 'EastEnders' - will front an episode that will explore the issue of painful periods.

In the upcoming special, Jacqueline discovers the effects of period stigma and tries to fight the taboo surrounding the issue.

Elsewhere, boxer Nicola Adams, S Club 7's Hannah Spearritt, and 'The Real Housewives of Cheshire' star Tanya Bardsley will all also host their own special of 'Celebrity Health Stories'.

Nicola, 39, and her partner Ella Baig will seek to shine a light on the issue of IVF treatment and their own pregnancy journey.

The Olympic gold medallist and the model welcomed their baby boy - Taylor Nate Adams - in July, and the upcoming TV special will explore their personal experience with IVF, which began in 2020 when Nicola's egg was fertilised via a sperm donor.

The loved-up duo reflect on the hidden difficulties of IVF and the issues faced by same-sex couples wanting to conceive via the treatment.

Amanda Stavri, ITV’s commissioning editor of reality TV, explained that the broadcaster is keen to provide "important insight to create and instil change".

She added: "These four equally brilliant documentaries would not have been possible without Jacqueline, Nicola and Ella, Hannah and Tanya’s support and bravery, and so we’d like to pass on our thanks to them for sharing their personal experiences to help raise awareness and bring these real-life issues to light."

Former S Club star Hannah will investigate breast implant illness.

The pop star underwent augmentation surgery in 2013, and she will ask important questions about breast augmentation surgery in light of her own experience.

Hannah will also meet with other women who have had similar experiences.

Meanwhile, Tanya Bardsley will shine a light on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The reality TV star was diagnosed with the condition just six weeks before her 40th birthday and she will talk candidly about her personal experiences of ADHD.

'Celebrity Health Stories' will air on ITVBe later this year.
