Paddy McGuinness has opened up about his battle with depression after ex-wife Christine spotted the signs. The Bolton-born TV star, who announced his split from Christine last July, has shared how he 'wasn't aware' of how low he had become and said he found himself losing his temper quickly as he looked back on his struggles.
Speaking on The Monday Mile podcast, Paddy said he was later diagnosed with clinical depression after his then-wife Christine, 35, spotted the symptoms. "In my experience, with something like depression - I was diagnosed as clinically depressed and I wasn't aware of it," he told podcast host, former Olympian Aime Fuller, on a windy and rainy walk in Teggs Nose Country Park in Cheshire.
"You can be as low as low can be and it's the people around you that tell you. So Christine and a few of my family members would say stuff and ask if I was okay and I would think 'why are they always asking me that?'. But obviously you can't see it yourself, it's in your head, it's not like you've got a limp where people can spot it and you can spot."
