Andy Gray

Ex-Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray has admitted that he considered taking his own life following his sacking.

The 56-year-old, who was sacked in a sexism row that erupted following comments he made about a female official, told the London Evening Standard that he was emotionally damaged by the criticism.

When asked whether he had thought about suicide, he made the admission: "Yes. I would be lying if I said I didn't.

"I had never felt like I have felt from January 25 [last year] onwards."

Recalling the controversy, which also saw host Richard Keys resign after his enforced suspension, Gray added: "It happened on a Saturday morning.

"I got a call on Monday from [deputy head of Sky Sports] Andy Melvin just telling us, 'Don't come in today for Monday night football'. It escalated from there for some reason, I've no idea why."

Defending himself, the ex-footballer added: "I do not see myself as sexist. Not in a million years. I have four daughters and I was brought up by a wonderful mother on her own. She's 91 and is distraught about what happened."
