David Williams’ Health Deteriorates Following Controversial Exit from BGT
David Williams is grappling with a severe decline in his health since his abrupt departure from his lucrative £1.5 million-a-year role on Britain’s Got Talent, according to medical experts.
The comedian’s health woes began in the wake of his controversial exit from BGT, which came two weeks after he made offensive remarks about an elderly contestant during a filming break. The fallout from this incident ultimately led to a legal battle, with David suing his former employers at BGT for substantial damages in September.
Documents obtained by the Daily Mail reveal that he has accused Fremantle, the London-based production company behind the reality show, of committing an unlawful data protection breach. This legal confrontation has further exacerbated his health problems.
According to The Sun, the traumatic events surrounding his exit from BGT have taken a significant toll on David’s mental well-being, compounded by his nearly decade-long tenure on the show’s judging panel. His psychiatrist, Dr. Mark Collins, disclosed that the television personality has been plagued by suicidal thoughts, and the documents suggest that he suffered a mental breakdown.
Reportedly, “The doctor increased doses of medication for anxiety, insomnia, and depression as his symptoms worsened.” The documents allege that “He is plagued by uncontrollable negative thoughts, including active suicidal thoughts.”
Furthermore, it has been revealed that David is currently on a regimen of various medications to manage his mental health, including escitalopram for depression, alprazolam (commonly known as Xanax) for anxiety, and quetiapine for insomnia. His journey towards recovery is a matter of concern, and his fans are undoubtedly eager to see him regain his health and well-being.
