Discussing his analysis, he mentioned: “I have Parkinson’s. It is a tough call, and it will get tougher for me.
“For that reason, when I’m out and about, I try even harder to look my best. I want people to know that I am not vanishing, I’m still fighting as hard as ever.”
The quizmaster mentioned he actually loved making his debut on the Loose Men present.
“It was a little nerve-wracking, but so is any new experience. I was made to feel at home though,” he mentioned, including that he was thrilled the present continued to smash the stigma round speaking about males’s psychological and bodily well being.
“It’s important for everyone, not just men, to realise that however hard we try, we are not perfect, either physically or mentally,” he said.
“Traditionally, men have been discouraged to seek help, by believing that it’s a sign of weakness.
“But in all walks of life, a problem shared is a problem halved; or at the very least reduced. I hope that the message is getting through, but if it isn’t, I’d like to do my bit to help.”
Loose Men will air right now (Thursday) at 12.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
