Although she has suffered from panic attacks and anxiety in the past, it had been a while before she had one, as she did on the show. That added to her crying in her cabin. “I haven’t suffered from panic attacks for years but the overwhelming feeling I had stepping onto this boat and the state it was in, the lack of cutlery, Clean tea towels, sinks that blocked, no ironing board, broken washing machines… the list goes on, plus cameras following me (something I really am not used to) add a dash of “have I made a huge mistake doing this” and you will find that sometimes you are just human and you can’t keep it in,” Lara expressed.

The chief stew stood by her call to wait until the guests were at the table to begin dinner service. Lara Rigby has no problem speaking her mind on the show.
