She Faced Her Fears

Horner likes to try new things, and face her fears. One thing she decided to do is swim with sharks. She shared this video on Instagram of her experience. "They say start your year how you intend to finish it, and for me that was facing my FEARS 😂," she writes in the caption. "This was my first reaction to ever getting in the sea with sharks, so please don't judge me. 🥹 Let me tell you, they are totally harmless, beautiful creatures and I am just a wuss to the unknown. The most incredible mind blowing experience, as I'm sure some people already know… Next time I will be braver. If anyone is looking to have an out of this world experience like this I would highly recommend @anantaraveli."

She Sought Help

In 2021, Horner was diagnosed with diabetes. She opened up about this to Marie Claire. Horner says that she decided to seek medical help after not feeling well. "I had been speaking to the doctors about how unwell I had been feeling. I remember a specific phone call I made to my doctor before I ended up in hospital. I was in bed for days crying just feeling awful and not knowing why, I just felt like I was going to die. I ended up taking myself to A&E in the end which is where I was diagnosed."

She Reduces Stress

Horner tells Marie Claire that she is working on reducing the amount of stress in her life, in order to help with her health. "I've since found out that stress can make diabetes so much worse, and feel that was definitely a contributing factor. It also seemed to be taking a massive toll on my mental health which seemed then to be taking a toll on physical health – I can't tell you which one came first. Either way, I sometimes blame myself for not speaking up enough when I needed peace and quiet, for not always putting my health first. I'm trying to also learn to manage my stress levels now as well as my diabetes, as they often go hand in hand."

She Wants To Help Others

Horner tells Marie Claire that she wanted to reveal her diabetes diagnosis to help others feel heard and to spread awareness. "It's not even been six months since my diagnosis and I'm already seeing things a lot more positively now. One thing I know is that I refuse to let this effect my future negatively, I hope by speaking about it, that will help others know they're not alone."

She Isn't Hard On Herself

In her Marie Claire interview, Horner was asked what advice she'd give those who have diabetes. "Don't be too hard on yourself, you're doing the best you can," she answered. "If you can learn your carb to insulin ratio that will really help you. Take all the help that is offered to you and most importantly, rest when you need to rest. When I finally got the guts to take myself to hospital, I was only in there for a few days before I discharged myself too soon. I should have stayed longer and rested as the nurses told me to but instead I discharged myself and went straight to an awards ceremony that same day (very silly of me). I was desperately trying to live my life as normal and didn't want to let people down but I ended up back in hospital that same night because I didn't know what I was doing. The first few months were really scary and that's why I didn't want to talk about it back then, I wanted to wait until I fully understood it myself and I wanted to wait until I had control."
