Christine then continued. “Be kind to yourself, remember it passes, it always passes,” she then said.

“P.S, I am absolutely fine, I don’t want to worry anyone. And my feeling of ‘I don’t want to live anymore’ is more often like ‘I just want to disappear for a while’,” she then wrote.

“I am grateful, I am blessed. On a lighter, brighter note… I’ve got very exciting news to share later,” she then added.

The “exciting news” in question was her involvement in the new series of Pilgrimage on BBC One.
