Hello, I'm Fern Cotton and this is Happy Place, the show that helps you realise you're not alone in how you feel.

Today I'm chatting to Sam Clufflin.

I have like a form of body dysmorphia, I think.

And I think that may have stemmed from my being a teenager and hitting puberty late and not feeling like I was good looking

or too short or not strong enough. I felt really broken. Last year was a really difficult year

for me mentally and emotionally. Like at the beginning of the year, I was crying constantly.

I was just so depleted. I was so exhausted and I needed to

ask someone for help and I didn't know how. You find me at my kitchen table again, which is now my

preferred place to record these introductions. And you find me in a reflective mood about to make

some rice crispy chocolate treats for my kids. Yeah, I'm being one of

those knobs who's trying to do it all and, you know, dropping plates here and there. But I'm

trying to make snacks from scratch here and there for my kids. Oh, I sound like a twat even saying it.

I mean, look, especially my 13 year old son

is just mainlining a lot of shit at the moment. So I'm trying to balance it out by making some stuff.

So I've snuck in, when I'm about to sneak in, some brown rice puffs into these chocolate treats.

And Rex has asked me to put marshmallows in them which

sort of mitigates the whole point. Oh, what are we doing? I don't know. I'm like you just probably

trying to do too much and juggling work and in my case, kids and trying to make fucking rice crispy cakes.

Anyway, that's where my head's at today.

This will probably last all of a week and I'll go back to buying them crap in the news

agent from there on in.

Anyway, we try.
