The 44-year-old EastEnders actor lifted the lid on his mental health battles and said he is struggling “mentally” and that his brain is “attacking” him.

“It’s been on me a little, my brain has been attacking me. It’s really difficult, and I wanted to put that out there because I needed to do that.”
The soap actor said he felt much better after speaking about his worries and urged anyone who is experiencing similar challenges to do the same.
He said: “Anyone out there that is struggling, you’ve got to open your mouth and say it. Stop saying to people, ‘I’m fine,’ because if you’re f***ing not then express it.

“Now I’ve expressed it, I feel slightly better. Still a little f**ked in the nut, not going to lie. But anyone out there who is with me, don’t worry. I’m going through it as well.”
