His controversial move came just days after he revealed the shock incident which made him feel like he was going to die as he opened up about living with anxiety.
During Thursday’s Good Morning Britain installment Jamie revealed that he had his first panic attack aged 20 and took himself to hospital as he thought he was going to die.
Describing the sensation of a panic attack, Jamie said: ‘You feel like you’re going to die. I thought I was having a heart attack.’
Jamie said that he experienced anxiety from that day on, but hid it for years out of shame.
‘I hid anxiety for many years,’ he told GMB hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid.
‘I had the typical thing at panic attack at 20 years old, didn’t know what it was and took myself to hospital and then just hid it for many years.
‘It’s a heightened sense, you feel like you’re going to die. I thought I was having a heart attack. It feels like your body is taking over you and the adrenaline is going thorough the roof because you’re hyperventilating. Chest gets tight, you feel dizzy, you feel like you’re fainting.
‘I took myself to hospital and they said You’re having a panic attack don’t worry go home – and that was the day my life changed.
‘I had anxiety that I didn’t know what it was, didn’t understand it, never spoke out about it.’

Asked why he took so long to speak out about his anxiety, Jamie said: ‘Truthfully at the time I was ashamed of it. I didn’t know what it was and I just wanted it to go.’
‘It was there for many years until I spoke to a really great friend of mine, who was best man at my wedding, a guy called Toby, and I finally phoned him up,’ Jamie continued.
‘I got very emotional on the phone and I said “Toby something’s wrong with me” and I was scared what he was going to say and he said “Don’t worry Jamie we’ll go through it together” – and it was this echo back that was incredible.
‘I suddenly realised that all these years I had been holding it in and why hadn’t I spoken out about it?’
