ok.co.uk:

Jay Blades opened up about his personal struggles and admitted to feeling like a "complete failure" after betraying his first wife.

Last year, the Repair Shop star spoke candidly with Spencer Matthews on Global's Big Fish podcast about hitting rock bottom when his charity, Out of the Dark, collapsed, which he ran alongside his former spouse.

The presenter – who is back on our screens with Dame Judi And Jay: The Odd Couple – delved into one of his life's most challenging chapters while discussing the closure of the organisation in 2015 due to financial troubles.

When asked by Spencer if he ever felt suicidal, Jay confessed: "Absolutely. I was running a charity, Out of the Dark, and basically I ran it with my ex-wife, and the funding dried up, and also I, to cut a long story short, I cheated."
