Mitchell talked at length about a skin condition she claims to suffer from. Morgellon's syndrome is regarded by most doctors as a delusional condition where sufferers imagine fibres growing under their skin, rather than a clinical disease.

But Mitchell said it left her largely housebound, calling it a "weird, incurable disease that seems it's from outer space. But my health's the best it's been in a while. Two nights ago, I went out for the first time since 23 December."

She added: "Fibres in a variety of colours protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm: they cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral. Morgellons is a slow, unpredictable killer, a terrorist disease: it will blow up one of your organs, leaving you in bed for a year."
