Countryfile presenter Adam Henson 'cried and cried' after addressing tough time with wife
BBC Countryfile presenter Adam Henson recently opened up about his wife Charlie's pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
Countryfile star Adam Henson has admitted he "cried and cried" behind-the-scenes after visiting a hollistic massage therapist as part of a segment for the BBC show.
The TV star, who has recently opened up about the tough time he had after his wife Charlie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, discussed the moment he went for a reiki massage on camera.
Adam was on location in Glastonbury when he filmed the segment, and says the experience was 'amazing' and cathartic, despite his initial cynicisim about the hollistic therapy.
The 58-year-old opened up to Somerset Life about how the therapist told him to go home and rest up after the massage.
He explained: "Now I'm a bit of a cynic for this stuff, but do you know what? It was amazing.
"I don't know what the pracitioner did but at the end she told me to go back to the hotel, drink lots of water and rest.
"I know I'm an emotional chap and I do wear my heart on my sleeve but when I lay down on the bed I cried and cried."
Adam concluded by admitted he is still perplexed by how profound the impact of the massage was on him.

His revelation comes after he admitted he and wife Charlie had both broken down in tears after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The pair decided to get married weeks after Charlie's diagnosis and instead of going on a honeymoon, she was hours away from critical life-or-death surgery.
"We cried a lot," Adam admitted to the Daily Mirror before explaining the wedding "was a way of saying goodbye to everyone" for his other half.
Charlie says she was in 'good health' until 2020, when she began suffering with stomach problems.
Her tummy upsets worsened over Christmas 2020 and, in early 2021, she saw her GP.
After being increasingly unwell, Charlie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the couple tracked down one of the country's leading experts and had her booked in for surgery.
Two years later, Charlie is now back to work part-time and living from one six-monthly scan to the next.
