Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston broke down on Good Morning Britain yesterday as he recalled being bullied as a child.

The 52-year-old actor made an emotional appearance on the show to campaign against playground bullying.

Eccleston confessed that being bullied aged five had “really coloured my life” and told hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid that he was also “ashamed” to have been a bully himself.
