Angela Scanlon reveals she suffered a 'breakdown' during charity trek as she opens up about battling loneliness


Angela Scanlon bravely opened up on Thursday about her long-running battle with loneliness - revealing it became so overwhelming that she suffered a 'full breakdown'.

The Irish TV presenter, 41, admitted that despite her busy work schedule, bustling family life and large social media following, she often feels deeply isolated. Following her breakthrough in India, Angela revealed she decided to launch a grassroots community called Hot Messers - organising 'Hot Mess Walks' where people could turn up without pretence. The result was a feeling of emptiness that Angela explores in her deeply personal book Joyrider, in which she describes not only her troubles but also what helped save her – tapping into her natural resources of joy and gratitude for the small positives in life.
