A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall, usually where it branches. In conversation with BBC One's Sunday Morning, Ms Clarke revealed that she had survived two brain aneurysms in 2011 and 2013.
The 35-year-old actor said, "The amount of my brain that is no longer usable - it's remarkable that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life completely normally with absolutely no repercussions."
"I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that," she added.
