The star wrote on the GB News site: “As much as my specialists’ marvel at how well controlled I am and, to be honest, heap praise on me when I’m being checked out, 31 years in and I AM TIRED.
“It is a constant drain. Always checking, always monitoring, always calculating. Sometimes it does just get you down.”
