Is he or is he in a posh private 'rehabilitation' clinic where he gets to hide from everyone.

I suspect you're bang on the money. Must be nice to have the finances to cushion you from the shite of your own making.

We can all check ourselves in to a mental hospital with that amount of money. I don’t buy that.

MH issues for the last four years. Pull (phnaar) the other one.

Depression doesn’t make you pursue teenagers and young men and pay them for sexual favours while playing the part of a heterosexual married father, voice of the BBC and all round stand up guy.

I feel for his family, and I have sympathy for anyone experiencing this level of shock and intrusion and do wish him well. But he will have to face the music eventually and it’s right he should. Actions have consequences, mental illness or not.

TicketyBoo11 · 12/07/2023 18:18

His poor wife..and children. Having to make that statement. He’s ill and in hospital..yeah right, I hope she put him there. What a dick. The shame. Respect to her.

Well at least when I'm in an uncomfortable situation and I need to get out of a pickle I know to blame it on my poor mental health.
Get out of jail free card.

Meanwhile those suffering real Mental Health issues cant even see a councellor.

romatheroamer · 12/07/2023 18:18

The significant facts are that the police aren't pursuing the matter and that he didn't know about the allegations till last Thursday.
I hope he gets better and then sues the hide off the Sun.

@AtomicBlondeRose

Exactly. If it was an NHS inpatient hospital then I would have had some sympathy. We all know it’s not.

Give over. If you can afford really good private treatment, rather than use for ‘free’ our mediocre and on its arse NHS, anyone would go for the former option.

I agree, I feel deeply sorry for him if he has serious mental health issues but that does not excuse what he has done.

Ohhhhh does that mean the photo was real? 😩

I wish him well in his recovery.

Yes so do I .... I very much doubt he will return though

The witch hunt will continue..

TimeToRecover · 12/07/2023 18:20

NOONE knows the full story !!!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 12/07/2023 18:20

He's been suffering from depression for over 20 years. I say this not to excuse him, if the allegations are accurate, but I don't think we should all be assuming the mental health diagnosis is a pretence.

StrictlyCandelabra · 12/07/2023 18:20

Oddsockday · 12/07/2023 18:13

I wonder if he was suffering mental health issues when he was sending abusive texts.

By the way the Priory can be classed as a mental health hospital. It's not like he has been sectioned.

I think to be fair, it is a genuine possibility he was. I know someone who has needed to have in-patient treatment for mental health issues twice. Each time, just beforehand, she became very agressive in her messages and text responses to our friendship group. After treatments, she's genuinely mortified at her own behaviour.

I'm not saying that to excuse him from the whole situation, just sharing that it's not always a 'let's claim mental distress to get out of trouble' situation.

Yep, when celebs get caught shagging about they declare they have a sex addiction and book themselves into a clinic (Mark Owen)

When they get caught sniffing they book themselves into the priory.

Same old same old.

seahorsesandmermaids · 12/07/2023 18:22

I hadn't heard of him.

Superdupes · 12/07/2023 18:22

How convenient 'mental health problems'. It makes a mockery of people with genuine mental health problems who wouldn't dream of pulling shit like this. You never hear of woman doing things like this do you?

I wonder if his wife believes the words she's saying, poor woman.

LonginesPrime · 12/07/2023 18:22

They said they knew obviously but couldn't say.

Apart from Victoria Derbyshire who couldn't not say it.

I agree.

ALongHardWinter · 12/07/2023 18:23

Omg that is so weird. A few days ago I was thinking about who it could possibly be and his name popped into my head,and I promptly dismissed it! But then I didn't he same when the John Leslie case was around years ago.

:( having watched my sister go through severe psychosis I resent comments like this!

The man although unnamed until now has virtually been hounded by the same newspaper that blamed 97 innocent people for their own deaths!!!

Id be in a heap too if I were him!! Awful awful comment!!
