January 08, 2020 - 12:40 GMT Jenni McKnight Matthew Wright has defended his decision to spend his daughter's first Christmas alone. The TalkRadio host jetted to the Caribbean without his wife Amelia and their 11 month old daughter Cassady last month, but after coming under fire from fans, Matthew explained the heartbreaking reason behind his decision.
Revealing it was his wife – who gave birth last January – who urged him to take some time for himself, Matthew told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield:"I've had a lot of mental health issues really over the last year and a half. A friend's suicide, problems at Channel 5, other personal problems, and there was a story written about me, a fake story about me losing my job just before Christmas, and it knocked me sideways.
