A radio DJ who prank called a British nurse days before she took her own life says she has battled years of suicidal thoughts herself.
Mel Greig had been working at Sydney's 2Day FM when she and colleague Mike Christian rang King Edward VII Hospital in London "to see how quickly we could get hung up on" and "to our surprise, we were immediately transferred to the private nurse of the Duchess (of Cambridge) ".
Pretending to be the Queen and the Prince of Wales, the DJs had duped nurse Jacintha Saldanha into putting their call through to a colleague who revealed confidential details about Kate.
