Johnny Vegas tells of ADHD struggle

'Art helps me make sense of the world'

TV comic Johnny Vegas has revealed art saved his life after stepping out of the spotlight with crippling mental health struggles.

The 54-year-old star signed off sick, halted all projects — and got an ADHD diagnosis a year ago.

Now he has returned to complete a striking public art installation in his hometown of St Helens, Merseyside, and has opened up about his plight.

In a Channel 4 documentary, Johnny says: “I went into meltdown, I couldn’t function. It seemed insurmountable. This has been the most difficult part of my life. But the art saved me.”

The dad of two said: “With ADHD, when everyone else is going to bed, my brain goes, ‘It’s just you and me now!’
