flag Comedian Harry Hill says hosting *TV Burp* caused severe anxiety, paranoia, and emotional strain, leading him to leave mainstream TV for self-funded YouTube content.

flag Comedian Harry Hill has revealed that the intense pressure of hosting ITV’s *TV Burp* from 2001 to 2012 led to severe anxiety and paranoia, including fears of assassination, fueled by a grueling six-day-a-week schedule and sudden fame. flag The former medical student, who left medicine after his stepfather’s death, said the stress strained his relationships and left him emotionally absent despite being physically present. flag He recalled being unnerved by a hole in his car windscreen, interpreting it as a threat. flag Now 61, Hill has shifted to self-funded YouTube content, prioritizing creative freedom over mainstream success, while acknowledging the lasting mental health toll of his peak fame.
