Author Marian Keyes opens up on crippling depression that led her to the brink of suicide

Marian Keyes has spoken of the crippling depression that led her to the brink of suicide – and how her husband saved her at one of her darkest moments.

The best-selling author retraces her rollercoaster life on the BBC arts programme Imagine, from wild partying and alcoholism in her 20s to mental health struggles in her 40s.

Marian, 58, tells her life story with unflinching honesty, most movingly when she reveals how watching Come Dine With Me pulled her back from the brink.
