Former ITV news anchor Alastair Stewart has spoken candidly about his battle with dementia, revealing the profound impact the condition has had on his life.

Stewart, who had a 40-year career as a news presenter in Britain, shared his struggles as the Mail launched a campaign focused on supporting dementia carers. He described moments where he questioned the value of his own life, stating, "I'm at the point where I wonder if life is worth living... I only exist because of Sal," referring to his wife, Sally.

The veteran broadcaster's personal revelation underscores the challenges faced by individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. The campaign aims to highlight the crucial role of carers and the need for greater support within the community.
