TV DOM'S TEARS IN MOUNTAIN ORDEAL
TELLY presenter Dominik Diamond was left close to tears by a stunt for a celebrity reality TV show.
Dominik, 35, who is scared of heights, says he 'freaked out' when he was taken 5000ft up a mountain to do tai chi for Extreme Celebrity Detox.
The former Gamesmaster host said: 'I suffer from anxiety, insomnia and take whacking great lists of medication.
'I would like to try a cheaper, less invasive way of coping.
'Sadly, this did nothing to cure my vertigo. I still freaked out on the mountain ledge, I still wept as I abseiled off it the next morning.'
Dad-of-two Dominik fell out with one of his fellow celebs, wine expert Jilly Goolden, when she mocked him and Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy.
He accused her of constantly worrying about her looks, while criticising his trousers and Jack's 'blubber'. But he says he got on brilliantly with Jack, who he had expected to be a spoilt rich kid.
Edinburgh-born Dominik, who has previously attacked reality TV, admitted that he hoped taking part in the detox show would boost his profile.
He said:'If you can't beat them, join them. If that makes me a fame *****, buy me the suspenders because I've a mortgage to pay and I'm too old to learn a trade.
'I went through the full gamut of emotions and didn't hold back. It wasn't the greatest week of my life but it was undoubtedly the most important.When I got off the mountain I felt reborn.dailyrecord
