Christopher Eccleston has revealed he battled with anorexia while filming Doctor Who, saying his depression in recent years has almost driven him to suicide.
Eccleston added that he was especially unwell when shooting Doctor Who: “The illness is still there raging within me as the Doctor.
The actor, who took on the role of the Doctor in 2005, wrote about his mental health struggles in his forthcoming autobiography, I Love The Bones Of You.
“And yet, interestingly I have received some of the best reviews of my life since I started taking them.”
