Robson Green breaks silence on battle with drink and drugs: 'Was in a very dark place'

“I needed something in life that made sense and, for me, fishing makes sense. I’ve learnt so much from fishing and found an inner peace that was missing.”

And it’s done wonders for his career too, as he now fronts Robson and Jim’s Icelandic Fishing Adventure on Monday on ITV, alongside pal and fellow actor, James Murray [known as Jim].

Jim also used the sport as a coping mechanism to save him from his own demons, following the tragic loss of his eight-month-old baby Ella-Jayne in 2009, whom he shared with Cutting It actress, Sarah Parish.

Jim said of the hobby: “Fishing dug me out of a deep, dark hole and has been an integral part of my life ever since.”

Robson and Jim’s Icelandic Fishing Adventure is on ITV on Monday at 10.45pm.
