The presenter suffered with the condition for two years after giving birth to her daughter in 2006.
She said she was ashamed to tell anyone that she was suffering.
Speaking on Loose Women she said: "I was working on Loose Women at the time. People would see me, sitting here, I'd be smiling and interested in what people had to say. But in the car on the way home, I'd be sobbing.
"Before I'd walk through the front door, I'd pull myself together and smile for everyone because I didn't want to burden anyone with it. So I became very good at hiding my emotions.
"I have always been the strong one in my family. I saw this as a sign of weakness - I wasn't coping and I couldn't understand why because I'd had a baby before and was fine."
She continued: "We need to encourage people to speak out about depression but if we're going to talk about it, we need to know what to say. Being told your're selfish can just make people feel ten times worse."
