Rob Beckett has revealed that he has been battling a secret mental health battle and at one point even believed he was “better off dead”.
The blonde I’m A Celebrity comic was filming in South Africa last year when he had the dark thoughts and also said he had been plagued with self-doubt throughout his career, thinking he was not good enough and would not be able to support his family.
Rob, 35, from Deptford in south east London, has written a candid autobiography addressing his mental health issues and how despite seeming to “have it all”, he was desperately unhappy.Rob, who is married to the “love of his life” and has two young children, is on a mission to promote the message that “people should talk about mental health”.
