It said: "The worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as it you don't."

Kevin's fans then rushed to the comments section, with many begging the 37-year-old to ask for help if he needs it.

One said: "How very true....unfortunately. Hope you're ok?"

Another added: "You ok kevin. Speak out if you need help."

A third commented: "Thank you @keviclifton for thanking about mental health and mental ill health.

"The more people talk about it hopefully the more we can reduce stigma so more people feel able to ask for help."

Kevin and his partner Anneka Rice were voted off Strictly last week after failing to impress the judges.

And he didn't react too well that he had to leave the show - declaring I told you so after the result of the dance-off was announced.

It was a nod to his pre-series prediction hed struggle to get the TV veteran up to scratch on the dance floor.

Kevin and Annekas routine left the judges poking fun at the Kill Bill- themed dance, which Bruno Tonioli said theyd slaughtered, and which earned them just 11 points from a possible 40.

They lost in a dance-off to ex-England goalkeeper David James, 49, and his partner Nadiya Bychkova, 30,

A Strictly insider said: Kevin adores Anneka as a person but professionally he knew his chances of making another final were over, especially as shes struggled with injury and fitness.

Going out in the second week was humiliating for him. In his eyes hes King Kev and hes done phenomenal routines with his previous partners.

Hes got a friend for life in Anneka and he loved working with her. But this series is one he wants to forget.

Before they crashed out of the competition, former TV presenter Anneka, 61, said shed found training murder and showed off nasty bruising from her training sessions with Kevin, 36.
