ROBBIE Williams has revealed that at his lowest point, he “slashed his wrists” and wanted to end it all. 

The 49-year-old singer struggled with mental health issues after finding fame as a teenager with pop band Take That.

In a bid to cope with life in the spotlight, Robbie turned to drink and drugs - and in an exclusive chat about his new self-titled Netflix documentary, the musician reveals that he once tried to take his own life.

Robbie said: "I read something that triggered me, somebody talking about celebs making mental health issues sexy.

"There is nothing sexy about taking a knife and slashing your own wrists that I did."

When asked to clarify if he meant he had actually done this, Robbie nodded and said: "I am on about me slashing my own wrists."

He went on: "We need to be careful about what we say and how we say it.
