Jesinta Campbell has opened up about working to the point of exhaustion in an interview with Kate Waterhouse.

The David Jones model spoke about how she worked tirelessly throughout the year, including during the time Buddy left the Sydney Swans to focus on his mental health.

'It has been really difficult. I’ve continued working throughout the entire process, which has taken its toll on me,' she revealed.

'I’m quite exhausted from it all.

Jesinta Campbell gushes about fiancé Buddy Franklin caring for her when hospitalised

'There has been a lot of times that I’ve had my full hair and makeup done and I’ve had to go and get it touched up because I’ve been in tears on the way to work. But, you’ve just got to keep going. That’s unfortunately, the way that it is. You’ve just got to do what you’ve got to do and the best way you can as well.

Buddy, 28, was suffering from mental illness and mild epilepsy, which he had managed to conceal from his Sydney Swans teammates and friends.

Despite having a seizure at a Bondi cafe on September 4, he managed to play against the Gold Coast the following day, before stepping out indefinitely.
