Paddy McGuinness has spoken about receiving a surprising diagnosis after his ex-wife Christine spotted signs that he was unwell. The TV star said he “wasn't aware” something was wrong until his former partner and other family members asked if he was okay.
The 49-year-old told the Monday Mile podcast that he has been diagnosed with clinical depression, according to BirminghamLive. He said that unlike a physical problem, his mental health issues were not immediately obvious.
Paddy explained: “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?'
