Another tweet from Morton told fans she’s “on the mend.” She wrote: “I’m on the mend. I’ll get there and thank you so much for the well wishes.”
Last year, Morton spoke in a new interview about how she is “fuming at how society behaves around mental health issues for women”.
Speaking about her experiences of abuse within care institutions while appearing on the BBC‘s Desert Island Discs, Morton said: “I think that people in a professional role have a duty of care, not only to the children that they’re looking after, to do their jobs properly.
“And I think a lot of people failed in those jobs in regards to me and many of my friends, my foster siblings, my siblings, and I just wish certain individuals would put their hands up and say, ‘Yeah, we were wrong, we could have done better.'”
