In a candid interview, Leah Charles King says her role in the Channel 4 show transformed her life after suicidal thoughts took hold
Leah Charles King says her role on A Place In The Sun has been life-changing after suicidal thoughts took hold prior to her bipolar diagnosis. In a candid interview, the famously bubbly media personality revealed that behind the scenes she was secretly planning to end her life before her friend talked her down.
Bipolar disorder can bring on manic episodes which can last for weeks or even months at a time, before changing to crippling depressive episodes. Leah admits that her depressive episodes were so bad she struggled to get out of bed or brush her teeth, and she once penned a suicide note and walked into her GP surgery.
"I remember standing in this queue in tears - silent tears - and when I got to the front of the queue to reception, I just passed this note across the desk [saying] 'I'm suicidal and I need help now. If you send me home, I'm going to kill myself.' It was that blunt and obviously, it was all panic stations," Leah added.
