"Saw him on The One Show the other day.
Pretty illuminating hearing him talking about his life. I did feel he was struggling, but good that he can be open about it."
Same here. He was talking about his adoption, how dogs have made a huge difference in MH healing when he had a breakdown. I felt every word. |

Yep - I had a breakdown, and could see so much of me in him.
Actually - my friend’s dad worked with him, and said he could be a difficult character. Knowing what we know now, I suspect that was him covering things up. It very often is.

"No idea who that is but wouldn't be interested in that type of TV anyway. "
As the child of a bi polar sufferer, and now the mother of one, I would watch it. The stigma of mental health issues needs addressing |

"Talking about his bipolar diagnosis on tv (amongst other things), very interesting.
"
What channel/ programme? Wonder if it's online somewhere to catch up. |

"What is the obsession with celebs / others feeling the need to inflict their state of mind upon the rest of us?
"
It's about reducing stigma, letting the general public know its OK to have mental illness |

Fuck me, isnt there any so called celebrity that hasn’t got some form of disorder or is it just another way getting more publicity... ? I’d be more concerned with people I know and I don’t know any celebrities, thank god... I’d get sick of hearing all about them if I went for a pint with em .. |

The general public already knows this, or at least the majority knows. There will always be some narrow minded folk out there, unfortunately, but I watch TV to be entertained, not to listen to some washed-up celeb bleat about their struggles. |

I saw him on the One Show last week.  "
He was a guest on Sunday Brunch, Channel4 on Sunday just gone. while the show is generally for entertainment, his interview segment was very good and thought provoking.  |
