Strictly's Toyah Willcox reveals she considered ending her life as she struggled with her career

STRICTLY star Toyah Willcox has revealed how she came close to ending her life at a notorious suicide spot.

The actress and music legend, 66, was only saved by a passing policeman who was close to the bridge in North London.

The incident unfolded when Toyah was living in London in her early 20’s and was trying to make it on showbiz.

Recalling what happened, Toyah wrote in her memoir, Living Out Loud, that she had become aware of the reputation of a bridge near her home in London for people taking their lives.

“I grew accustomed to the view from the bridge at dawn,” she wrote.

“In those days there was little traffic on the roads at 5am. The bridge mesmerised me. It was known locally as suicide bridge.

“I contemplated jumping every time I crossed it. Sometimes because I was drunk and bolshie, but most of the time because I was heartbroken.

“Back then loneliness and rejection were a big part of my life.”

In a heartbreaking admission, Toyah said these feelings eventually evolved into her trying to end her life one morning.

She said: “It was, about 4.30am, the sun was rising on the bridge. I’d spent the night at a succession of parties.

“On the way home I stood watching the view from the bridge. It always made me cry. I thought to myself ‘what would it be like to jump?’.

“So, looking around to make sure the coast was clear, I dared myself to jump.”

“As I balanced, I thought of mum and dad, my brother and sister and how they would feel. It would destroy them.

“I thought of ending all possibilities, and decided I didn’t ever want to jump. But by now it was too late.”

“Then, a hand grabbed my ankle. I almost fell forward,” Toyah explained.

“A voice came: ‘Don’t do it. Just don’t do it’. I turned and it was a policeman. He was white as a sheet.

“Where he appeared from I had no idea. There was no bicycle, no car, no footsteps. We talked for an hour…and parted friends.”

Toyah – born with a twisted spine, a clubbed right foot and one leg shorter than the other – recently spoke out about her health struggles and revealed she has suffered from crippling insomnia since she was just 14.

You’re Not Alone

EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.

It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.

And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.

Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.

That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.

The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.

Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.

If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:

Thankfully, after the incident, Toyah has overcome her hardship and became known as one of the defining stars of the 1980s.

This year, she’s taken on the challenge of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing – partnered up with pro Neil Jones for the season.

However, she has a fight on her hands to remain on the show, after falling to the bottom of the leaderboard after the first two weeks.

Toyah has been criticised for “stiff” dancing both weeks, earning only 30 out of the available 80 points across the two shows so far.

The first week saw fans slam the judges for giving her such a low score.

However, week two did see a vast improvement, jumping from scoring 12 to 18 points.

Strictly Come Dancing: Shayne Ward hits back on criticism he was ‘over-confident’

Strictly: Shayne Ward hits back on criticism he was ‘over-confident’

Strictly Come Dancing week two was eventful. Shayne Ward hit back at social media abuse, Chris McCausland made the best joke of the season, we had a Shania Twain number and Nick Knowles managed to dance after an injury meant he could only train for 16 hours.

In his VT ahead of performing, singer Ward said: “After the show on Saturday [of week one] I received some negative comments on social media saying I was over-confident. Some of them did get to me, when in truth I’m only human, I was scared, I was terrified. And I hid it behind as much smiling as possible.”

He was then shown hugging his partner Nancy Xu, before they performed their Tango to “The Door” by Teddy Swims. Head judge Shirley Ballas said: “I’ve seen the way the week’s gone for you and it hasn’t been pleasant in any way, shape or form.”

The first two weeks of the BBC competition had eased this year’s crop of stars into proceedings, with a launch show that saw the contestants partnered with their respective professional, and a first week of dances in which nobody was eliminated.

However, tonight, the judges’ scores from last week rolled over and will then be combined with the viewer vote, meaning two couples will have to take part in the dreaded dance-off during Sunday’s results show (29 September).

Catch up on the events of week two here…

Who is topping the ‘Strictly’ leaderboard?

While nobody was eliminated from last week’s Strictly, that doesn’t mean the episode has no bearing on what occurs tonight.

The judges’ scores will roll over and be combined with whatever the celebrities manage to get tonight.

With this in mind, here’s how the leaderboard currently stands:

What dances and songs will the couples be performing this week?

The biggest talking points from last week’s episode included one rather odd song choice that saw poor Paul Merson dancing an American Smooth-of-sorts to Fat Les’s “Vindaloo”.

While it’s clear why they wanted Merson – a retired footballer – to dance to a football song, there were claims ahead of the episode that he felt somewhat shafted by the decision. Of course, it went down like a lead balloon and many believe he could be this year’s “joke” contestant.

Here are this week’s song choices and dances that the couples will be performing:

‘Strictly’ star will perform despite arm injury

Nick Knowles suffered an arm injury this week, which threw his Strictly future into question.

However, it’s believed the 62-year-old DIY SOS presenter, who is currently competing on the show alongside professional dancer Luba Mushtuk, will perform tonight after doctors gave him permission.

A source told The Mirror: ”Nick and Luba’s attitude is very much that the show must go on, and they were thrilled when he was given the go ahead. They are even going to attempt a lift.

One ‘Strictly’ couple has a ‘secret code’

Strictly Come Dancing professional Jowita Przystal has revealed the secret code that she and her dance partner Pete Wicks use in training sessions.

The Only Way is Essex star Wicks is competing in this year’s Strictly competition along 14 more celebrities vying for the glitterball trophy. He is partnered with Przystal, who has worked on the show since 2021.

Appearing on Wicks’s Staying Relevant podcast, which he co-presents with former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, Przystal discussed her bond with Wicks – and said they instantly “connected” when they first met.

Nick Knowles says he’s had just ‘two days’ to rehearse due to injury

Nick Knowles has confirmed he will perform on tonight’s Strictly after suffering an injury.

Earlier this week, the DIY SOS host hurt his shoulder, which has led him to have just two days of training ahead of his next performance.

On Saturday morning (28 September), he shared a video on Instagram, telling his fans: “On my way to the studios – this is show day. I’ve had two days to learn the dance as well as I possibly can. I promise to give it everything tonight and try and perform it well.

“Luba [Mushtuk] has worked her magic in choreographing something amazing. All I have to do now is perform it. It’s been a tough week but I’m very excited to dance later this evening and don’t worry about me, my shoulder’s getting stronger every single day.”

He thanked his fans and said he “will try to do my best” for everyone who sent him support, acknowledging that he’s in danger of going home if he doesn’t perform well as he’s in the bottom four of the current leaderboard rolled over from last week.

‘Strictly’ judges to perform ‘avant garde’ dance

The BBC has revealed that the four Strictly judges will battle for a throne during an “avant garde gothic tango” alongside the show’s professional dancers.

Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Anton Du Beke will participate in the dramatic performance on tomorrow night’s results show.

Meet JB Gill, the current ‘Strictly’ favourite

Following in the footsteps of his JLS bandmate Aston Merrygold, performer JB Gill is among the 15 celebrities taking part in this year’s 20th anniversary series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The 37-year-old rose to fame in 2008 with his boyband JLS, comprised of singers Oritse Williams, Marvin Humes and Merrygold. While the band formed in 2006, it was their performances on 2008’s edition of The X Factor that saw the group become a household name.

Paul Merson finding ‘Strictly’ experience ‘really hard’

Paul Merson has made an admission about his participation on Strictly Come Dancing.

Days after the former Arsenal and England footballer performed an American Smooth to Fat Les song “Vindaloo”, Merson, who ended near the bottom of the leaderboard, said he was finding his time on the BBC show “really hard”. However, this is not due to the technicalities required to dance.

‘Strictly’ star admits to fancying professional partner

Strictly Come Dancing’s Sarah Hadland has admitted that she fancies her professional partner Vito Coppola.

The 53-year-old comedy actor, best known for playing the joke shop manager Stevie Sutton in the BBC sitcom Miranda, freely admitted to fancying the 32-year-old Italian ballroom dancer the minute they met.

“Yes, I fancied him. I’m alive, aren’t I?” she replied when asked if she found him attractive. “If you’re female and have a heartbeat, how could he NOT be anybody’s type?”

Paul Merson and Chris McCausland are what Strictly is all about

Paul Merson and Chris McCausland are what Strictly is all about

Both of them failed to reach the top five on the leaderboard. One of them was told his fingers looked like bananas. And the other was called out for having zero technique. But Chris McCausland and Paul Merson were, without a doubt, the hilarious, heavy-footed heroes of Strictly week two.

Tensions were high as the glitziest competition on telly returned to BBC One for its second live episode of the season – with all 15 celebrities and their pro partners on edge ahead of the first public vote, and anxious not to go through the undignified experience of being eliminated straight off the bat. But former footballer Merson and comedian McCausland – the show’s first ever blind star – cut through any unease with their dad dancing, cracking one-liners and absolute commitment to the cause.

Merson’s return to the dancefloor was eagerly anticipated after his week one performance – an unhinged American Smooth to the football anthem “Vindaloo” by Fat Les, which was dubbed “very special and different” by the judges. And boy, did he deliver. Merson and his pro partner Karen Hauer did the Salsa to “Fireball” by Pitbull. Cue Merson in leopard print trousers, waving barbecue tongs in the air and doing a mad move where he sort of thrust-jumped his way over to Hauer, a baffled grin plastered on his face the entire time. Just stunning. The only problem? It was hard not to wince when Craig Revel Horwood joked that Merson’s drink prop at the start must have given him confidence, and Merson, who’s struggled with alcoholism, looked at the floor and said: “I don’t drink.”

But who brought the levity soon afterwards? Yes, it was McCausland backstage who, after Revel Horwood gave Merson a measly score of two, said: “By the sound of the way things are going, I think Craig’s blinder than I am.” Claudia Winkleman collapsed into laughter, and had to ask producers to give her a minute before she carried on presenting.

McCausland only brought more joy with his and Dianne Buswell’s Foxtrot to “Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy” by The Tams. The comedian, who lost his sight aged 22 due to a hereditary condition called retinitis pigmentosa, got a huge standing ovation from the teary-eyed crowd. “Everyone in this room is on their feet right now,” marvelled Tess Daly. “Oh my goodness. I think you’re a popular man.” “It’s a lot, innit,” came his understated response. Head judge Shirley Ballas gave a big shout-out to Buswell, saying her teaching is “off the wall, off the scale”. Not bad, given that when McCausland was doing press a couple of weeks ago, he said they were “winging it” and had no idea how his training was going to play out. The pair’s work together is staggering, and truly moving.

The laughs continued backstage, too, where the Liverpudlian said, “I’m not happy, because they’ve put me on 10 minutes before the Liverpool game ends. That is half of Liverpool watching the football. That is half of my core voter group!”

Buswell and McCausland were a highlight, and received a standing ovation (BBC/Guy Levy)

So yes, former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri might be at the top of the combined leaderboard with 65, while McCausland is in sixth place with 52 and Merson’s down in 14th with 32. But here’s hoping the fans’ votes will save their places in the competition. They might not be bringing the most dazzling frames or the pointiest toes, but they are what Strictly is all about: laughter and, well, learning.
