Wynne’s marriage breakdown

Wynne previously opened up about his struggles after his marriage breakdown.

He told Wales Online: “I was doing a daily radio show where the feel of it is upbeat and keeping people in a good mood and cheering up the nation.

He is in a much better place now than when his marriage ended.

“The strapline of my show is, ‘cheering Wales up by one o’clock’, but I was going through the worst depression, clinical depression. I would think about [suicide], I would try and action it… I couldn’t see a way out; I couldn’t see a way of ever being happy again.”

He added: “I was feeling suicidal, and it was terrible. I just thought, I’m either going to do something terrible or I need to go and see a proper psychiatrist.”

Thankfully, Wynne seems to be in a happier place in his life now.
