In 2017, McKenna was struggling with her celiac disease and IBS, which led to her losing a lot of weight, and secretly going to the hospital. Unfortunately, this led to a lot of people body-shaming her. In an interview with The Sun, McKenna called out said body-shamers, saying, "People need to realize I'm always going to have problems with this and not troll me … it's a serious thing and it's life-changing."

McKenna is open about having IBS, and tells MailOnline that she makes sure to manage her symptoms, even if it means giving up on a night out. "When I get a really bad bout of painful bloating and that urgency that I need to go to the toilet, and I'm out on a night out with my friends, there's been times when I've had to leave and go back," she says. "Because there's no way I want to be in that situation where I'm in a club and really unwell. It can be really awful."
