Fern Britton had been struggling with depression and has recently revealed that she attempted suicide during this bad patch in her life.
Fern said that it all started after she was caught drink driving in a friends car back in her early 20’s. She says that being banned from driving, she started to feel isolated and then depression kicked in.
When she was 25 the TV presenter did get her licence back however, this was in the wake of a breakup witha long term boyfriend.
“One afternoon I decided I couldn’t bear the pain any longer, and I sat down and opened a bottle of paracetamol,”
“All I wanted was to sleep, sleep, sleep. I tipped the bottle, poured myself a handful of pills and swigged them down with whisky. I didn’t take the whole bottle, as if I didn’t know whether or not it was what I wanted.”
It was a former boyfriend who came to the rescue. He called her sister soon after she took the pills who lived nearby and informed her of the situation. Fern said she was “lucky” to be alive.
