Ricky Hatton has revealed the moment he allowed himself to seek treatment after turning suicidal.
The boxing star appeared on Good Morning Britain, where he spoke with hosts Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley about his new documentary, which delves into a’very dark’ period in his life.
In his new film Hatton, which will be released on Thursday, he recounts his mental health journey and says that he became’very unwell’ when he kept his feelings bottled up and refused to talk about how he was feeling.
Ricky eventually became so ill that he went to his knees, screaming for treatment from a psychiatrist or he ‘wouldn’t be here next week.’
‘I realised I couldn’t do it on my own,’ he told hosts Kate and Richard.
‘My first daughter Millie was born. She wasn’t planned and I thought, “This is something from God.” It’s going to make me think, “This is it Ricky, it’s not about you now it’s about your family.”
