«Breaking News» Caroline Flack reveals her battle with depression started the day after she won Strictly

Caroline Flack has opened up about her year-long battle with depression - which she says started the day after her Strictly Come Dancing win in 2014.

The Love Island host, 39, explained how she felt ‘ridiculous’ having such thoughts after being crowned champion of one of the BBC One hit show, and confessed that antidepressants were what got her out of bed in the morning.

Speaking to the Sun, Caroline said: ‘It all started the day after I won Strictly. I couldn’t get up and just couldn’t pick myself up at all that next year. I felt ridiculous, being so sad when I’d just won the biggest show on telly and had such an amazing job.’

The TV presenter also revealed that she felt like a ‘joke’ during her stint presenting the X Factor alongside Olly Murs, 34, in 2015, and would often end up in tears backstage.

She recalled: ‘I was embarrassed about everything. I felt like a bit of a joke. We were getting slammed week in, week out and we couldn’t do anything right. I could have walked on water one week and.. people would have gone, “But where’s Dermot?”.’

Caroline visited her doctor following a panic attack in her X Factor dressing room and was prescribed citalopram, a type of antidepressant, but didn’t tell any of her friends or family, or her boss Simon Cowell.

The star stopped taking them after six months as she realised she had become ‘a little too reliant on them’.

To combat her need for them, Caroline eventually went on a juice retreat in the Mediterranean to get the pills out of her system.

Thankfully, the hostess is now back on top form, feeling happy and healthy, with 2019 looking to be her busiest year to date.

But as well as a heated argument on holiday in Portugal in the autumn, last month the pair had a row which resulted in Andrew prank-calling an ambulance.

Yet Caroline has said they had a ‘raw love’ and need to be happy in themselves ‘before we can be together’.

She told the publication: 'We have a very passionate, raw love but at the minute we just need to look after ourselves. We need to be happy in ourselves before we can be together, I think — and that’s what we’re doing. I think we want the best for each other.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
