During a chat with co-stars , , and Livvy, Becks said is now managing it with medication.
“Obviously you know that I’ve got epilepsy. So I basically work with this charity called Young Epilepsy,” Becks told the group.
“I went to an event with them a couple of months ago and hearing everyone’s stories.
“I want to do a little charity ball, maybe a quiz, I’m going to invite everyone.”
Livvy joked: “People better put their money where their mouth is,” as Becks replied: “They better.”
An emotional Becks then explained the horrifying moment she fully blacked out.
She said: “In 2002, I had my first fit, I was at home, I completely blacked out, unconscious, on the floor, I don’t remember nothing.
“The epilepsy I’ve got is called Micronic epilepsy, where you have sudden jerks and they last for two seconds.
“So when I get really anxious or I was talking about something or if I hadn’t eaten all day – I would do this thing where I’d go like,” as she reenacted the jerks that she’s experienced.
Livvy said: “It was all the time.”
Becks continued: “At the age of 28, to be diagnosed with epilepsy is crazy and I’d just had two young babies.
“It was so hard.
“They gave me medication and since then it’s been controlled, it’s kept my epilepsy at bay.
“Two years seizure free.”
Livvy then broke down in tears, saying: “The thought of a girl having that makes me so sad.”
Becks then got up to comfort Livvy, giving her best pal a hug as she also started to cry.
Lauren said: “You’ve so lucky you’ve got each other,” while Sophie added: “Liv, you’ve probably been there when she went through it all.”
Becks and Livvy have become first favourites on the show since they joined last year.
The duo are the managing director and owner of -based salon Lashes by Livvy – a spot which is often visited by , 47.
