During the latest episode, Sasha opened up about her struggles with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and how it has affected her for so long now.

Dancing to Hailee Steinfeld’s “Most Girls”, she explained, “I love this song because it really resonates with me about what I’ve been through and what I’m still going through.

“I gained 70-ish pounds (around 30 kilos) over two years,” the actress revealed.

“It was really, really hurtful the way people reacted. People were saying stuff like, ‘she’s pregnant, you’re fat.’ They were angry, they were mad that I look like this.”

“[It was] one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through,” she continued.

“I had no idea what was going on and I didn’t have any way of solving it,” she added. “Very recently I was diagnosed with PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a hormone imbalance. Finally, I knew why this was happening to me.”

“Now, I’m seeing results. I think most importantly, I’m feeling like me again.”
