Samaritans ambassador Scarlett Moffatt has revealed that she used The Suicide prevention charity for support after feeling low and lonely.

" Even when I was at really difficult points, there was no-one to turn to. "
Scarlett has said she felt " lost and lonely" after moving to the capital following her I'm A Celebrity win in 2016.
She Said : " I remember feeling guilt when I felt lonely - because to many people I have no reason to feel alone, but loneliness affects us all.
" Sometimes it can feel like there is a negative stigma around admitting that you're lonely, but it's something that Most People will have experienced at one point in their life. There is No Shame in feeling alone, and it's OK to talk about it.
" In The World of Social Media , it's not always clear to see when people are Feeling Sad or lonely. "
Scarlett says she rang Samaritans for support and would urge anyone else struggling to do so too.
" Talking to Someone who didn't know me, or judge me, really helped when I wanted to talk about how I was feeling. "

I frequently hear just how challenging it can be during my shifts.
" Most of us will feel lonely at some point in our lives. You don't have to be alone to feel lonely. There's No Shame in recognising feelings of loneliness - or seeking support if you are struggling. "
While most of us want to spend some time alone, loneliness is about feeling disconnected from The People around you to The Point it affects your mental wellbeing.
