Antonio Carluccio

Casually watching Poh's Kitchen (instead of accompanying Little Mishelle to her Buddhist, vegetarian food gathering) when Antonio Carluccio comes on. I wikipedia him to find this:

Self-stabbing
On 7 September 2008, it was reported that Carluccio had stabbed himself in the chest.[2] Doctors feared the blade may have punctured his lung. He was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and later discharged.

Carluccio later admitted himself to The Priory clinic, with it reported that Carluccio was suffering from depression.[3] but latest reports are that he is suffering from exhaustion and that incident was an accident[4]

In an interview from March 2009, Carluccio revealed that although he was feeling "desperate" and "very depressed" at the time of the stabbing incident, that it was an accident that occurred while cutting a loaf of bread.[1] He also noted that the time spent at the Priory clinic was a "positive experience" that allowed him to realize how his problems paled in comparison to others he saw while there.[1]


This really depressed me (not to the point that I'm going to stab myself in the chest) because he appears on Poh's Kitchen to be extremely lively and sweet and joyful. He appeared on the show around 2010 (I would guess... Maybe 2011, not sure) which is a couple of years after the incident but it's still horrible to think that someone like that who just appears to be so full of life can be driven to an act like that.

Sigh. Life.
