The presenter said he was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and felt 'hunted' after The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled indefinitely in May 2019.
Opening up about his battle with anxiety, he said:"I used to think 'get a grip' when some celebrities talked about those sort of problems.
"But suddenly I realised first-hand you can't always do that. I never thought they would affect me like they did. "That was a shock - but I've always said: 'If you have a problem, admit it, and then seek the proper help.' So that's what I did."He added:"Critics will say I got a taste of my own medicine but I'd been through a fair amount up until that point - and I guess it all caught up with me at once.
The programme, which was aired regularly since 2005, was axed following calls from MPs and members of the public.Earlier this year, Dame Carolyn McCall, chief executive of ITV, told the BBC's The Media Show the broadcaster was"looking at" cancelling Kyle's programme prior to it being pulled from the schedules.
