💬 “It’s alright, mate. Men cry too.” 💬

A powerful moment from I’m A Celeb and such an important reminder.

Opening up does not make you weak. Showing emotion does not make you less of a man. If anything, it shows strength. It shows trust. It shows humanity. 💙

Let’s keep normalising conversations like this: no judgement, no stigma, just real people supporting each other.

Check in on your mates. Be honest about how you are feeling. You are never on your own. 🤝

If you need to talk, support is always available:
