Deadpan comedian has told the Daily Telegraph that hypnotherapy helped him battle depression. "I was on various anti-depressants, but not for long - I didn't function very well on them,” he said. “I felt sort of flattened out. Plus I found another way… Hypnotherapy.

"It's very good. I mean it's only really talking. I always think of it as being a bit like a brain massage. It just sort of resets you."

The star added: "Sometimes you have to switch the computer on and turn it back off again. I try and do it once a month and no more, because you can end up depending on things.

"I don't want to come off stage and think I did a good gig just because I was wearing red socks. Life would become intolerable."
