William told a special episode of Radio 1's Life Hacks "we need more male role models" to talk about their mental health publicly and to make open discussions "second nature".

During the panel discussion about male suicide with host Greg James, William said: "I take a long time trying to understand my emotions and why I feel like I do, and I feel like that's a really important process to do every now and again, to check in with yourself and work out why you're feeling like you do.
