He disclosed online: “After five years of life-changing circumstances: attacked, enduring 14 hours of head surgery, the struggles of Covid, losing one of my organic product businesses I built over 25 years, surviving a knife and machete attack again outside my shop in Belgravia, encompassing a weathering painful divorce, letting go of 75 per cent of my material possessions – I came close to giving up for the first time in my life.
“But thanks to my boxing trainer, who gave me a head towel I looked at one morning, embroidered “never throw in the towel”, changed my mindset.
“I went to a spiritual medical facility in South Africa for five months, Cedars, with the full support and help of my beautiful family and girlfriend, which, to be frank, saved my life.”
The 54-year-old’s clients include Johnny Depp, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie.
