Comedian Adrian Edmondson says he has contemplated suicide most of his life.
The Young Ones actor broke the news to his “shocked” comic wife Jennifer Saunders more than 20 years into their marriage. He finally took her advice to seek professional help in 2011.
The revelations emerged via Radio 3 show The Essay where Adrian has this week been reading a self-penned story called Signs Of Life, which producers of the show say is entirely factually based on his own life.
