Dale Winton Opens Up About His Struggle With Depression And His Support For Donald Trump
Supermarket Sweep icon Dale Winton has opened up about his battle with depression following a ‘bad break up’.
The TV presenter was appearing on Loose Women yesterday and confessed that health issues had contributed to his worsened state.

He sparked concern with erratic displays on the 'National Lottery: In It To Win It’ earlier in the year., and admitted that he should’ve taken some time off work:
He said “I should have taken myself off the TV but I didn’t. Listen, there are worse things in the world - but I had depression and I didn’t realise.
"I always thought, ‘get over yourself’. But my mum died of it. It exists and anybody out there who has had it knows it exists. I didn’t want to put one foot in front of the other but for a couple of really good friends.”
“I had a bad break-up and then I had health issues. I wanted to withdraw but you know what this business is like. I didn’t look great.”

“I would not leave the house. Five years.”
Yikes!
He admitted that he’s not exactly got the best taste in men, either:
“God, I can’t 'alf pick them. People are amazed by my taste. If he’s got a beard and over 45, I’m there. If they’ve got emotional problems I can make that last for ten years.”
He also hit back at 'political correctness in the media – possibly after he sparked outrage after he outed himself as a Donald Trump supporter.
He wrote in an article for 'Conservative Woman’ that: 'He [Trump] is fearless and he promises to make his followers safe and prosperous, he loves his country and he’ll do his best to protect it from anyone who threatens its constitution.’

But speaking to the Loose Women ladies it was clear that Dale didn’t really seem to care what people thought of him:
"I’ve got myself into such trouble with my opinions lately. I’ve been misquoted left, right and centre. But…I can’t be dealing with political correctness. It drives me nuts… You can’t say this, you can’t say that. I’d rather have someone tell me what they think of me. If everybody’s equal [why is] everybody pussy-footing around?”
