CAITLYN Jenner opened up about the moment she contemplated suicide before her sex change.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star announced her transition in 2015 in a Vanity Fair photoshoot and front cover.
But the 70-year-old revealed there was a moment before this that she thought of taking her own life, explaining she could “see” how people reached that point.
Speaking at An Audience With Caitlyn Jenner at Brighton Dome on Saturday – which was hosted by I’m A Celebrity campmate Roman Kemp – the former Olympian recalled her lowest moment after finding out that pictures had been obtained by the media which would turn her life upside down.
“For me, it wasn’t just about me transitioning, it was about how it was going to affect my family. That was the thing I was really worried about,” she told the crowd.
“After I talked to all 10 [of my] children – and they were okay, they were fine – the last person I had to talk to was my pastor.
“I went to bed that night, and the next day I was out walking through this field, because the night before I had actually thought about suicide.”
