His controversial move came just days after he revealed the shocking incident that left him feeling like he was going to die while speaking out about living with anxiety.
During Thursday’s installment of Good Morning Britain, Jamie revealed that she had her first panic attack when she was 20 and had to go to hospital thinking she was going to die.
Describing the feeling of a panic attack, Jamie said: “You feel like you’re going to die.” I thought I was having a heart attack.
Jamie said she felt anxiety from that day on, but hid it for years out of shame.
“I hid anxiety for many years,” she told GMB hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid.
‘I had the typical panic attack when I was 20, I didn’t know what it was and I went to the hospital and then I hid it for many years.
“It is an intensified sensation, you feel like you are going to die. I thought I was having a heart attack. It feels like your body is taking over and adrenaline is pumping because you are hyperventilating. Your chest tightens, you feel dizzy, you feel like you are fainting.
“I took myself to the hospital and they said, ‘You’re having a panic attack, don’t worry, go home,’ and that was the day my life changed.
“I had anxiety because I didn’t know what it was, I didn’t understand it and I never talked about it.”
UTA also recruited Jamie’s wife, Sophie Habboo, who is his co-host of the hit NewlyWeds podcast.
When asked why it took her so long to talk about her anxiety, Jamie said: ‘To tell you the truth, I was ashamed of it at the time. I didn’t know what it was and I just wanted it to go away.’
“It was there for many years until I talked to a great friend of mine, who was the best man at my wedding, a guy called Toby, and I finally called him,” Jamie continued.
“I got really emotional on the phone and said, ‘Toby, something’s wrong with me,’ and I was afraid of what he was going to say and he said, ‘Don’t worry, Jamie, we’ll get through it together,’ and it was this. The echo of that It was amazing.
“I suddenly realized that all these years I had been repressing it and why hadn’t I talked about it?”
