Gregg Wallace has been larger than life on TV for two decades, but publicly opening up about his mental health struggles may be the best dish the MasterChef star has ever served.
Successful men such as Gregg being honest will encourage others to talk, seek help and realise there is no stigma in admitting problems instead of trying to bury them.
Reading his gripping account of how anxiety has been a constant in his life for years and listening to him on the Mirror’s Men in Mind podcast tell how he now manages it through therapy, exercise, eating well and cutting down on the booze is an eye-opener.
He deserves our thanks for showing many men who might have thought it weak to admit they are suffering with poor mental health that even outwardly strong figures such as Gregg are just like them. Nobody needs to suffer alone and the more we talk the better we all will be.
In an HS-stew
MasterChef's Gregg Wallace dramatically different new career to 'transform UK'
Ending the HS2 rail line in Birmingham and Old Oak Common instead of pushing on to Manchester and Euston will be an expensive levelling-down mistake by visionless Rishi Sunak. Manchester Metro Mayor Andy Burnham speaks for millions by warning the spiteful cuts would entrench national inequality, widening the North-South divide into a chasm.
With the Leeds and Yorkshire links already axed, halting the route in the Midlands would be a punishment beating for a hammered North West England cheated of its fair share of infrastructure investment. Sunak will reap what he sows when a backlash at the ballot box sweeps away Tory MPs.
