BBC The Repair Shop's Jay Blades says he hit 'rock bottom' and saw 'no future' during darkest moments
The Repair Shop star Jay Blades has said credited his community for 'building him back up' after he saw 'no future' in the world during his darkest moments.
He continued: “I’d say hit rock bottom. Some people want to say suicidal thoughts, depression… At 45 years old I saw no future for me in this world. I had three children already, I had a failed marriage… I wanted to end it. If I could have I would have.” He added that he now had a teddy bear that he carried with him when feeling uncomfortable or nervous. “The missus like, ‘If you take that teddy bear, I know I’ve got to call you at least three times, because you’re feeling a bit nervous’,” he said.
