Nicolas then talked about his gambling addiction, and revealed he even contemplated suicide at one point.
“It destroyed me. I got a real wake-up call. I had no way of going forward because I’d lost everything. I was stuck.
“I had a balcony at my flat and I was thinking what would I do if I just jumped off it,” Hamilton concluded.
