The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner opened up to GB News this weekend about his mental health struggles, amid the formation of his support group.
Mr Skinner, who is from Essex, spoke candidly about his own experiences and the launch of his new men’s mental health walking club.
Speaking to GB News, Mr Skinner said: "Listen, us blokes don't talk to each other enough.
"We're always going to work, grafting, looking after the family.
"But we never talk about us.
"We never look after us."
‘Blokes supporting blokes.’

The first walk took place on January 4 at the Thatchers Arms in Warley, and Mr Skinner plans to make it a weekly event.
He posted on his X (formerly Twitter): "Absolutely fantastic turn out for the walk today supporting men’s mental health.
"Fantastic to see fellas from all over the gaff and support one another.
"Look forward to the next one on Sunday next week."
Mr Skinner told GB News that men had travelled from as far as Canterbury, Dartford and Bethnal Green to take part.
He said: "We've got just over 80 people.
"I think we got to get more than 100 today and hopefully it grows.
"The more the merrier.
"We just want to put our arms around each other, have a nice walk and just say, 'you know what, it's alright.'"
When asked about suicide being the leading cause of death for men under 50, Mr Skinner revealed the personal toll of the crisis.
He said: "I've lost six mates to suicide in the past 10 years, and I know how much it devastates families lives.
"If you're feeling sad, you're feeling upset, you've got something on your mind, don't boil it up and make you crack further down the line.
"Just talk about it.
"Relax and talk about it."
