The Traitors series two winner Harry Clark admits that he "hit rock bottom" two years ago.

The Traitors series two winner Harry Clark has opened up about being in 'a dark place' just two years ago.

The 23-year-old, who scooped more than £95,000 on the BBC reality show, revealed that he considered suicide before turning his life around by joining the Army.

"At around 21, I went through a bad time. I was in the darkest place you could possibly be," he told The Mirror. "I had feelings of wanting to end it all. I was quite an angry kid. But the Army moulded my characteristics and made me the man I am today.

"I began facing my emotions and learned to give myself time to be angry and sad. I started to set myself time limits to process my feelings. Afterwards, I'd tell myself I couldn't waste any more time being angry or upset."

He continued: "I had a realisation that time is the most important thing and I didn't want to waste it.

"In the Army, I was that guy people would talk to. All I want to do is help. It's a lonely world and it's easy to be blinded by mental health."

Clark has now left the Army and is looking to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
