Comedian Johnny Vegas has "no regrets" following an ADHD diagnosis.
The 52-year-old said it was "always kicked around as a notion" prior to him finding out before Christmas that he has the condition, which affects people's behaviour.
Johnny told BBC Breakfast that his diagnosis "answers a lot of questions about behavioural issues." He said: "It's that sense of disorganisation and doing basic tasks... everybody has an element of it, it's how strong your filter is, I think.

"When you don't have a filter at all very simple things become very time-consuming. I'll say 'I'll shift that cup', and then you have 10 other ideas and you haven't shifted that cup, and then three weeks later that cup's still there and somebody's like, 'Why haven't you shifted that', and it's become this monumental task and it's built up.
"It's just, I suppose, how your brain organises itself, and I always knew I was disorganised... but it helps make sense of a lot of things at school. I'm only just on the verge of learning about it."
Johnny added that if the "chaos helped me be a better stand-up" then it is good as it "made" him who he is. He said: "In some respects, you can go back and look at it with regret, but I've had a bit of a charmed life, so it's no regrets.
"I know now and it helps you make changes, I suppose, as you want to get more responsible later in life. I don't see it as defining me."
