Scots radio DJ Ewen Cameron has opened up about his mental health struggles in an emotional video on social media and has urged others who are struggling to go and get help.
The presenter started by thanking everybody who has reached out to him, adding that it's the "beginning of a pretty long journey".
Breakfast show host Ewen, 50, has told his 37.1K followers on Twitter that he's finally admitted he needs help, and that it's "ok not to be ok".
He started by saying: "Hi everyone, just wanted to make a wee video, just to thank everybody who, over the last couple of weeks, have just been unbelievable. So many people have reached out to me - family, friends, work colleagues, people I don't even know.
"On social media, in coffee shops, speaking to complete and utter strangers in coffee shops as well. I've tried to message everybody back, but it's been impossible, so I just wanted to thank every single one of you...for reaching out, for talking to me.
"To all the mental health charities who reached out to offer help. My thanks to Libby, who contacted me from Back Onside. To Jane my councillor who I have had a couple of meetings with, and I've got another one today with Jane."
Ewen's listeners grew concerned recently when he broke down during a segment discussing the death of Olivia Newton-John.
He said that the Grease soundtrack and movie "meant so much to him" and explained how it took him to a happy place during his childhood, into his teens and beyond. He described the production as his "escape".
Shortly after, he took to Twitter to reassure fans and pledged to seek help for his mental health after admitting to “living in fear” for decades.
Looking emotional in the recording, Ewen added: "So I just wanted to say thank you.
