Coronation Street star Jamie Kenna has spoken about how he 'struggled in silence' as he faced his own anxiety and depression battle. The actor, who made his debut on the ITV soap as Phill Whittaker last year, shared his own personal experiences with mental health during an interview with Lorraine Kelly.
Jamie joined the Scottish TV presenter on her self-titled ITV show, Lorraine, on Wednesday (July 6) where he was quizzed about his current Corrie storyline as his character prepares to marry Fiz Stape in scenes to air this week.
After chatting about Phill and joining the cast of the Salford-based soap, Lorraine went on to praise the Green Street star for being 'so open' as she encouraged him to talk about his past struggles and how he now tries to help others simply by talking.
