During that dark time in his life, Tommy broke down in tears on TOWIE when he documented a ‘scary’ depressive episode he experienced where he couldn’t even bring himself to leave the house.
He said on the show: ‘I woke up one morning I just sat there and looked at a wall. I couldn’t leave the house. I know it was only a few days but still. It was scary.
‘I feel like I need to do something to people. I need to sort myself out first more than anything but I’d like to try and help people, because it can be naughty. Young men if you’re going through something and you don’t talk about it, it can f*** you.’
