ITV News At Ten anchor Tom Bradby said he became “a bit of a poster boy for having a breakdown and losing control” after facing his mental health challenges while in the public eye.
The journalist and newsreader, 55, was signed off work for three months in 2018 after developing insomnia and what he describes as an “addiction” to the sleeping pill zopiclone.
Bradby, who has worked for ITV News producer ITN in various roles for more than 30 years, told how his wife Claudia had warned him he was close to a “very dangerous cliff-edge” and urged him to see a psychiatrist.
