Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV and radio this week: the Hidden Side of Sport and one blind woman's struggle to find work

Emma Emma | 11:21 UK time, Wednesday, 11 January 2012

Freddie Flintoff

Tonight on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One, the Hidden Side of Sport examines the prevalence of depression among athletes and players at the top of their game.

Cricket star Andrew (Freddie) Flintoff talks to sporting professionals, revealing the stigma attached to discussing depression in the face of an often unforgiving public. He discovers that many suffer in silence or hide behind irresponsible behaviour, until it all becomes too much.

The film includes moving interviews with Steve Harmison, Vinnie Jones, Ricky Hatton and a host of sporting heroes.
