Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.
It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.
Symptoms can include fatigue, difficulty walking, vision problems and muscle stiffness, according to the NHS.
Christina has been a firm fixture on TV and movie screens since the late 1980s, when the then-15-year-old actress was cast as teenager Kelly Bundy in the envelope-pushing Fox sitcom Married… with Children.
She has also appeared on the big screen appearing opposite Will Ferrell in the iconic cult comedy Anchorman.
