Dynamo credits boxer Tyson Fury with stopping him from killing himself after ... trends now
Dynamo has credited Tyson Fury with inspiring him after the magician tried to kill himself.
Entertainer Dynamo, 41, real name Steven Frayne, hit rock bottom and attempted suicide in November 2020 after suffering a string of personal difficulties.
His wife Kelly Frayne was left terrified when she found him unconscious in the dog's bed at their home.
The star explained on the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast: 'So on the 6th of November 2020, I tried to take my own life. I kind of just exploded.
'I was slamming myself into everything I could see in front of me in my house, put my head through doors, through mirrors, just kept pounding away because I was trying to shut off the noise in my head.

'I wanted to feel something. It's weird. When I was doing all of this, there was obviously pain I was feeling but I didn't feel anything else and my wife basically found me on the floor.
'I was actually in the dog bed and in front of one of the mirrors that I had stuck my head through and came to, bleeding and just out of it.
'I think waking up like that was the most ashamed I had ever felt. The shame was different because when I was doing it I wasn't thinking about anybody else, I was just seeing reflection on myself and I hated what I was seeing.
'I had all this noise, all this pressure in my head and I didn't know how to switch it off so I just tried to smash it out of me and I ended up smashing my own lights out.'
Dynamo said the first thing he saw when he regained consciousness was his sobbing wife staring down at him and his dog sitting by his side.
The performer said he found hope in hearing of other people's difficulties and how they pulled themselves through tough times.
He took inspiration from boxer Tyson, 35, who has a long history of anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts.
Dyamo said: 'To be honest, it started with Tyson Fury. When he shared his struggles publicly. He's somebody that, as a northerner, as somebody who's from the lower classes, I can relate to him far more than I can relate to a therapist.
